Exploring Bluesky. 🦥 reader. I keep trying to get lost in books, but reality persists. I’m also trying to avoid a lot of non-book-related social-media addictive stuff, including politics, with mixed success.

At midday on the year’s midnight
into my mind came
I saw the new moon late yestreen

In the Mid-Midwinter by Liz Lochhead after John Donne's 'A Nocturnal on St Lucy's Day' At midday on the year's midnight into my mind came I saw the new moon late yestreen wi the auld moon in her airms though, no, there is no moon of course - there's nothing very much of anything to speak of in the sky except a gey dreich greyness rain-laden over Glasgow and today there is the very least of even this for us to get but the light comes back the light always comes back and this begins tomorrow with however many minutes more of sun and serotonin. Meanwhile there will be the winter moon for us to love the longest, fat in the frosty sky among the sharpest stars, and lines of old songs we can't remember why we know or when first we heard them will aye come back once in a blue moon to us unbidden and bless us with their long-travelled light.
