Do astronomers not name
the stars behind the stars,
the ones they can’t see?
Do they believe an eclipse can actually block light,
that even a source of light may be too solid
to let light through?
No, I’ve heard, they can see what’s hidden, as light bends
like water around river rock.
Electromagnetic radiation is an exchange, light for light.
Gravity, too, weight to weight.
Giving and attracting; holding and letting go:
Who is the teacher, who is taught?
What is separate?
We have all been
in and out of these states of communion
before and will reunite again.
Oh Great Mystery: forgetting
& returning;
………..being
……& cycling:
Yes, there are no full eclipses in this universe.
Only some alignments cause
a temporary loss
………………………………………………………of blindness—
the blindness that comes from too much light.
