The longest solar eclipse of the century
Transformed sun into crescent, then thin ring
The black disc of the moon blotted the light
A dilated pupil, a black hole
For six minutes and thirty-nine seconds
Some people watched with the help of a lens
The rest of us saw only through replicated images
Photographs of the eclipse and eclipse-watchers
With flat, black filters like 3D glasses
Shielding their eyes, mouths agape and full of shadow
