APPROACHING TOTALITY
For John Furniss
a ghostly veil is draped
over the entirety
blankets the house,
grass, & trees
stellar jays
aieennh! aiennh!
in warning
as the world goes dark
everything quiets down
& a million anxieties
suddenly recede as
a thousand gleaming crescents
fan across the patio and lawn
