Blood Moon Melting Sky (a tanka)

Blood moon melting sky
Gray death cloud choking nightfall
Lonely city stranger
Please, come save me from myself
I am running out of time

Red moon, where did you come from?

Red moon, what do you want?

I offered my children

I ignored your taunts

What more could you ask for?

Must you always flaunt

and remind me I’m an earth-bound servant

in the killing fields

my servitude is permanent
