There was a lunar eclipse on the 21st, slated to be visible to most of the US, including the Utah Valley, where I live. The weather decided not to cooperate, and while much of the rest of America got to witness it, I was left clouded.
--- ---
I wait outside,
watching expectantly;
I curse the weather and
the well-placed streetlamp.
I need just one single, simple
clearing--one open patch of sky
the size of a dime--
for perhaps a minute or two,
then you low, happy clouds
can go about your business,
masquerading as spring rain
over the tailend of winter.

Your too cute my sugar. You were just like a young lad trying to find Santa's sleigh in the sky. You couldn't stop peeping outside every moment to see if the clouds had moved on. I remember this clearly because it was cold and that dang door just wouldn't stay shut. I'm sorry you missed it my love.
I missed it too Mattie, I was on the phone to Mikie in L.A. and he was whooping for joy with the beauty of the sight, but alas, dear old Placerville was cloudy with just a show of light where the moon should have been. I'm so sorry you missed it too. I asked Mikie if he could take a picture, but don't know if he could. Love you honey, Mom
