L’eclipse Waiting Game
Art: "The Night is Dark and Beautiful" by Wendy Varela
Take a seat.
You've arrived early to the eclipse but you can wait here in our biding room. The moon window isn't quite all the way open and life litter is piling up in the corners. The black branch leaning over you creaks in the whipping wind like the old ones do, wearied by the world and its clamour.
Still her light is blinding, her gaze intense and unwavering. Your shadow stretches long in its wake. Moonbeams creep over your skin unbidden drawing out nostalgia and diving into the space left behind. The past absently shuffles leaves on the floor. Body breathes and buzzes intermittently. There is no rest lying in wait for an eclipse.
The dial squeezes up another notch and the sky ripples again beyond the window. Your mind wanders elsewhere, returning to places you don't often visit. Your hands trace the shapes without thinking. The flowers at your feet sigh and fuss with their petals. Moods dance on the ceiling like stars.
You shiver, long for fire and the blood moon flashing through the dark sky. The full force of the syzygy swimming the twin channels either side of your spine. The warm crackle when the eclipse flickers in your eyes. The way the moon glides through her veils of light and shadow as the colours reset your insides a million miles away. The silence of the birds and the magnificent roar in your heart.
The symphony of the spheres in motion as you perch on the side of the earth in the middle of it all, waiting in wonder.
Not long now, darkling. Make ready.
It is quite impossible to describe. Here is what it looked like. It looked like a piano sounds shortly after being dropped down a well. It tasted yellow, and it felt paisley. It smelled like the total eclipse of the moon.
~ Terry Pratchett
