domineering

haiku

 enormous full moon

enlarged by haze, man-made smog

dominates night sky

magnificent illusion

enormous orange round

the harvest moon seems to rise

and shed it dark color

to vivid, pearly white

nearer to us, it is itself

its enlargement and color changes caused by our looking

through more layers of particles

in our atmosphere

at the curvature of our earth

but, ah, the magnificence

of the illusion
