the bait of a total eclipse
creates a mecca in the sky
to pay homage to the dalliance
of the sun and moon
voyeurs curiously weep
and laugh hug their awe
as they watch the culmination
of a dark distant orgasm
I wonder what other miracle
might cause those millions
to gape and swoon
and lift their eyes to heaven
perhaps God coming down
with winning lottery
tickets to hand out
and the joy of those tears
would that be for Him
or the cash payout
all taxes waived
