fat with portent
three mysteries
join the dawn sky
blood of moonfire
sets alight fears
dread of prophecy
awful and dire
some minds have such
terrible powers
to conjure calamity
caught up in
moments occult
fraught with omen
impending events
turned by hands
of inimical gods
while the most of us
undisturbed lay ourselves
into our slumber and
comfortably wonder of
peace and contentment
as sedative privileges
gifts to be had from
embracing a rare
and miraculous sky

âIn the early hours of January 31, 2018, the moon will do something it hasnât since 1866. A supermoon, blue moon and lunar eclipse will coincide for a rare and spectacular astronomical feast. Itâs known as a Super Blue Blood Moon. Our faithful satellite will shine big, brightâand red.â â NASA
