Haiku 28

A Winter Solstice Ritual during the Lunar Eclipse

(Umbra.)

A Lunar eclipse
Sun, Earth, Moon in alignment
Moon enters Umbra.

(Penumbra.)

Moon’s chalk-white erased
Then written again on black
Ameliorative.

(Antumbra.)

Moon leaves Penumbra
Once again, Dark bows to Light
The Winter Solstice.
