The Train Broke Down At Farmer’s Branch

The young train driver tried to start it a couple of times but the lights kept going out.

He used the emergency lever on the front door and we all left that way.

It couldn’t have been much more than 15 minutes before the next train came.  The young driver and all his compadres managed to get the broken train to limp  out of the way and we were back in business.

I was thankful it was a warm winter night with no rain.

The Biggest Moon I have ever seen and a Blood Red Moon

By poetryman69

Driving home tonight I saw the moon again.  I saw it this morning when I went to work as well.

The moon of eventide  was big and full and sinking into the horizon.  It was the single biggest moon I have ever seen.

 

Some report that the Solstice Eclipse of the full moon was a blood red moon…

Solstice + Full Moon + Total Lunar Eclipse = Darkest Night in 456 Years?

Solstice + Full Moon + Total Lunar Eclipse = Darkest Night in 456 Years?

Some time around 21 December 2010 there is supposed to be a  Total Lunar Eclipse.  Since it will also be Solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year,  some say it will be the darkest night in 456 Years.   Prime time for creatures of the night,  blood suckers,  lawyers, vampires, zombies and congressmen.

Get your Dark on!

Scientists, who are rarely if ever much fun, point out that it may not be particularly dark and that a New Moon  for instance would be darker.  Why spoil the fun!   Have a fun time and let out the dark!

Eclipse

Dark Moon.  Hidden Sun.

Lunar Lovers

Rising with the full orb.

Knee deep in the steaming blond grasses.

Drifting to the water edge

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mining ocher in the desert at night under a full moon

Draining substance from veins of color in the desert under a full moon

Echoes of moon pools on a desert floor.

Moon pools under desert stars

Prediction for 10/10/10

Prophesy for Sept 11, 2010

Dictionary of Dreams

Racing for the Sunrise under an Electric Moon

It is near dawn and I have just been shot out of a cannon

A typical commute,

paying some Spaniard

for the right and privilege to drive 80 miles an hour through the heart of Dallas.

The tollways takes its toll as speeding commuters squirt out onto surface streets

like steel blood loss under sodium vapor lamps burning mercury.

I rose up 18 floors into the executioner’s song of a sunrise.

On the way to pour hot caffeine directly into my veins

I peer out through the fleeting dark at a jeweled city

rising from slumber.

Giant buildings eat people disgorged from buses

only to spit them out again when the day done.

***

A Catchment full of Moonlit Water

A misty river in a mossy vale

A catchment full to the brim of moonlit water

Lichen covered boulder worn smooth by time and water

Knee deep in the dragonfly grasses

Barren beach on a cold lake

Ribbed dry bones of the earth

a place of water ages past but  alas, it flows no more

Staccato cliffs like shattered bones and broken teeth

Twisted shoals mired in milky mist
