christmas moon

Lunar eclipse

promises a blood red moon tonight

best viewed from Williamstown beach

It will be visible for roughly one hour

from 9pm

A dark bauble in the sky

a reason to lie on the ground and look up

(and later shake the sand from your clothes before getting in the car

and later still find itchy remnants of it all through your hair and bed)

and do nothing else for one whole hour

this Christmas time
