season of the living dead

A square, cinematic Halloween scene on an autumn suburban street at sunset. Four zombie politicians in dark suits, red ties, and campaign rosettes approach along a wet, leaf-covered sidewalk, carrying campaign literature. The leading zombie gestures toward a hooded, unhoused person walking away with a backpack and a cart piled with belongings. Victorian houses glow warmly with porch lights, jack-o’-lanterns, cobwebs, and a skeleton decoration. Brilliant red and orange leaves frame the scene. At the bottom are the Tittu signature, tristanrobertlange.com, and the TRL emblem.

falling from the trees—
a globe of autumn scenes—
bigotry rains down.

autumn days shorten,
giving way to longer nights.
most hearts stay hardened.

a coolness settles
into the dark, mid-fall night;
homelessness walks by.

ghouls paint their houses
with monsters and candy corn;
zombies seek your vote.

why hate a season—
autumn, winter, spring, summer—
when you’ve become hate?

autumn is now here—
a season of fright and fear—
a season for change.

POET’S NOTE:
Part of the Truth, Applied collection. A senryū sequence. Get out the vote, it’s bound to change everything.

Tristan Robert Lange
Hi, I’m Tristan Robert Lange — a poet who writes at the crossroads of existentialism, emotional depth, societal critique, and the gothic. My work often journeys into the human psyche, weaving dark and atmospheric imagery with profound emotional insight. I draw inspiration from literary voices such as Edgar Allan Poe, Jim Morrison, Charles Baudelaire, Sylvia Plath, Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker, among others. Their influence fuels my pursuit of vivid imagery and unflinching exploration of the macabre, the mysterious, and the sacred-in-subtext. My poetry is both confessional and visionary, haunted and haloed, carrying the weight of suffering but always straining toward transcendence.
