A Red Moonrise over the Coral Sea

Unexpectedly inspired by a Péladan jeremiad, the red moon laughs at the sea and the possum-ness of the possum; Churlish blood rays remain a never never world utterance of the jungle, Every lupercalian dragonfly conspires with brooding red hibiscus flowers; On a night like this, all creation winces and endures before melting into a black water mirage of broken feverish brush strokes and fruit bats in a mangrove swamp.
