ECLIPSE



Eclipse

the hate out of our

collective hearts,

Moon.

We are waiting, shimmering

in the crescent shadows

of hope.

We are in a profound

totality

where sadness and fear are

living shadows

in the spirits of the people

so invisible there is no map

to shield them.

Grant the ones fainting

on the margins of

your town, your

nation,

the promise of being seen

before the roiling darkness

unmeasures

the light behind their

biding eyes.



J. Pratt-Walter,  8/2017
