it is the third full moon of the season of four.

It is a seasonal blue moon, not the other blue moon.

it is the super blue moon of August 2024.

two blues in the same calendar year,

which happens about four times per century,

smoky cheese, under the dust of a volcano

the moon turns blue and the sunset is green.

hear the poor crooner howl in sadness

as the scorcher, Sirius chases Orion’s dog star

into the night sky, a summer song…

with piercing power and sultry heat, Theia

wait for the vague hint.

the 8th moon of thimbleberry is fragrant.

run sturgeon run. take the harvest stroll

under the rising moon of no illusions.

once in a blue moon, let the lunation speak to the soul.

it turns to gold-
