The moon, a day before full,
hung suspended low to the horizon
above the tree line
hauntingly, disquiet settled on us
It wasn’t the buck moon this day
No it was a Blood Moon,
a harbinger, a foretaste
a glowering presence
hanging here before us
pasted against that sky
Sky still and ashen gray
thick with clouds
crimson and amber
a film a screen,
a lens over our vision
unsettling and intriguing
a foreboding presence
like passing a car wreck
looking for the twisted metal
praying for those people

the Mumbai train bombings happened this same day
the Mumbai train bombings happened this same day
I cannot remember whether this poem was reflective of that
or not
