A Crescent in The Sky
Remember the eclipse?
It dropped by some years ago,
casting shadows about,
throwing shade like
masked moms among
hordes of anti-vaxxers,
calling us to question
our unconcern for our
environment, this
pale blue dot that
we leave out of daily
equations.
We laid back, lensed,
protected from her rays,
then gasped at
the total perspective,
and wept.
