Partial Glimpse of the Partial Eclipse [Today's News Poem, June 26, 2010]

Partial Glimpse of the Partial Eclipse [Today's News Poem, June 26, 2010]

Atoms are ordered by lines on a table—
Protons at center, electrons on fringes;
Orbiting, trading their energy levels—
Straightening spheres into graphs; into boxes.

Even the sun is as small as an eyeball.
Space too, is curved and the light does not travel
Straight on a path, though we measure it thusly.
Shadows are proof; the eclipse is the moment

Measured—a line through the circles aligning.
Drawing a ray through the needles and branches
Bigger than houses, yet smaller than glasses
Watching the sliver of shadow on Luna

Glide to the dark, unobservable sphere;
Casting its nothing on nothing again.

“A partial lunar eclipse which was unusually magnified to viewers in North America has now ended. ”
