Got together with Mom, some of Mom’s neighbors and some of my cousins today in Rensselaer to watch the eclipse. We had eclipse glasses but we also had a great few hours and for most of it had a great view of a 97% eclipse despite the passing clouds.
Trying not to stare
we raised our eclipse glasses
again and again.fleeting minutes
wondering where the sun went
nibbled by the moonOpted to stay home
missed totality but
enjoyed the eclipseeclipse, we reckoned
all heads tilting at the same
angle, lips ajarthe moon’s shadow
in a brief starring role
stole the spotlight
