Field guide No. 458
Lunar eclipse, impossible spotlight
Lit by the shadow.
Over a grey cratered plain, an eclipse hangs in a black sky and a beam of white light shines down from its dark middle onto one spot on the ground. Something down there is about to go on.
Field noteAn eclipse is the place light isn’t. A beam pouring out of its dark middle is shade shining.

Two worlds, one ocean bridgeTwo planets with the same coastlines are one planet in two places, and one of them is thirsty.
The rain remembersReflections show what is above them. One puddle reporting noon at midnight is lying, which reflections can’t.
The other argumentA reflection that does something else is not a reflection of the people in front of it.
Wrong exit through the pool floorBelow a pool floor is earth. Sky down there means the ground is above itself.
