Good night, eclipse. /

Moon hid within Earth’s shadow. /

I hide within mine.

Railroad tracks bend by /

an abandoned building. /

Old echoes linger.

Is the Sun for us /

or are we merely its guests /

at a feast of light?

Cat defines morning /

with a look of discontent /

that answers nothing.
