Ruby Red Moon

A ruby red moon stood out against the ashy cobalt sky
The sun had long since vanished but the moonlight trailed behind
Light polluted over the city like orange embers,
it flickered and glowed
Firefly planes linger and slowly sink into the stars on the horizon
Miles away the fire burns,
but through the smoke screen it looks beautiful
Tonight a surreal world has been born out of disaster
And behind my breast,
the heart beats
faster

I sit
and watch
