Every now and then the sun shines
Correctly bright. Sometimes too bright
Leaving too much light. When it does I
Instantly need it to be dark, so dark a
Purgatory of shade never apart. I’m
Seeking shadows where darkness only
Extends. I hope the unlit never ends.

I like how this sees an eclipse as a positive event, rather than the usual harbinger of doom we see in a lot of other entries. "so dark a Purgatory of shade never apart."- stuck out to me. Great use of caesura too Joe!
Nicely done, Joe.
So introspective. All about the speaker, not the sun!
This was really good
Awesome!!!💕❤️❤️
