Down, to Earth
Eclipse 3 (noun): The state of being in eclipse plumage
Elevation, we thought, came from acts
Cash, class, clashes, unions, and pacts
Like the bird that loses its flight,
I needed a wider bight
Plumage is a small thing to spend
Serving the need to mend
Enlightenment needs time to relax
