Maybe it's that I don't find any other part of the natural/physical world less wondrous than the eclipse?

Do folks have a limited amount of awe etc, so they can only associate it with things they encounter infrequently?

Something about people finding natural events set-apart from their lives?

The world hands us these things every second.

Been posting a couple ad hoc poems on fb lately, everyone is doing poetry month. Collecting them here for future reference:

a small poem

wind rattles
and frost hasn't come for three nights
this late in winter
i wouldn't have thought
there were leaves left
to
fall

****


they say go big or go home
but at home it takes
all seven acres to hold me
and when I leave
they say I'm too big
for my britches

****

loved by you
is waiting on the ground
for a leaf
slips sideways
rises on the current
skitters into a dust devil
but inevitably
comes to rest
here with me

my heart slips and skitters with it but
the dance
is more beautiful
than the fall and clunk
of a stone

***

according to need

for you
the sun darkens
signifying the fragility
of life

for me
raindrops fall
signifying hope
for continued life
