Solar Eclipse Poem
I overheard the Earth say of the Moon

She falls into view
Natural as ever
Luminescent & unfettered
It has been 38 years
& she’s never looked better
Could I -
Would forget that which heats
My life blood
Eye-white-sky-light lover
Alive- ready to die
Happy in the cold
A million creatures gather
In the unlikeliest of places
To see her show spectacular
Block out all light of sun
In her midst we forget
The victories
The atrocities
Committed in the name of reason
Oh celestial goddess
Black bodied and pale faced
Draped in the darkest blanket
We too fall, only to rise anon
Humbler this time
Awoke to battles fought but hardly won
