Twin Showers on the 29th of July 2025
A year for night sky spectacular shows
Twin Showers on the 29th of July 2025
The night of July twenty-nine begins the show
no noise, no fuss, just sky on fire
two showers cross the dark
Delta Aquariids, Alpha Capricornids
slow streaks
bright trails
quiet spells above the trees
No telescope
just your eyes
a blanket on grass
and maybe someone beside you
saying nothing
Twenty meteors, maybe more
each one slow
each one staying longer than it should
as if it knows
this night does not come back
Find a place with no lights
wait for the world to hush
then look up
the sky is doing something rare
Don’t miss it

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

I will be sure to try and catch it Marie!
Great poem and great ideas, but with my luck and where I live will be the most cloudiest night there ever will be.
I didn't know about this! I'll have to make sure I look up!
