Eclipse

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light.
-Albus Dumbledore

Today, the sun grows
indistinguishable behind
its lunar nemesis.

The line blurs
between daylight morality
and the hatred that people
used to keep hidden until night.

Malevolent ones
abandon their hoods,
don plain faces with
pride for all the world
to see.

Do not look directly into
their path, lest you lose
your gift of sight.

Trust that the sun will
reemerge on the other
side.
