**Lunar Eclipse, a poem by Isabel Jackson
The dark of the moon is grey,
just visible under the half halo;
all the moon's light drains
into this melon rind of glowing white,
growing smaller as blurred blue spreads.
It rises higher over the trees,
moves at the rate the shadow moves;
pale orange, burnt orange, shifting to red
gathering all the sunsets and sunrises
from all around the world into itself.
The rim of light disappears
and the moon is my eyeball on an x-ray;
moon's eye pulsing with blood;
stars prickle the sky.
A long slow sunset
