Moon Blood

red moon,
born of heat and dust
you rise tonight
over a lonely ridge
surrounded by forest
quiet disturbed
only by the dreaded ring
of the telephone

and my silent, inner cries
that you will shed your light again
over my son
in a land of sand and fiery hate
soaked in the color
of dried and wasted blood
and mother's tears
