in this season
fog rises off the river

veiling the morning-sun
i see its perfect circle in the sky

a wonder all by itself
sun and moon - perfect circles

then, remembering
a total eclipse

two circles aligning
both exactly the same size

spectacular
design!

and the clockwork of it
happening “right on time”
another marvel

finely tuned mechanisms
that make our life possible

wonders
upon wonders
surround us

they will still be here
when current dramas deflate
to their true size
