Red Moon Valentine (on his birthday)

For a few moments of the eclipse
a thin pure white saucer of moon
caught and held the red blood
overflowing into it
until it all slowly evaporated
lifting up into the ethers
and all we could see was
the silvery bottom of a cup
the full and prophetic moon
ballooning  above the trees
but where had the blood come from
could this be the thing called the grail
we think because predictable rhythms
rule the cosmos it’s just a machine
that invented itself to destroy itself
but then why invent the blood
