Venus

At 6:09 PM Eastern Time, it will take six or seven hours for Venus to travel the distance of the sun.  We are looking for possible trees.

Venus will pass by the sun

This evening.

We can note its passing

By the sun shining

Through the traditional pinhole

On the sidewalk.

Do not look directly at the sun.

I repeat:

Do not look directly at the sun.

My husband says

The last time there was an eclipse

He went to the top of a parking garage

To get a clear pinhole view.

On the way there

He passed under a tree.

On the sidewalk

The light reflected through the leaves.

It showed crescent suns,

Seeming thousands

Of crescent suns.

Venus will pass by the sun

Early this evening.

I aim to find the perfect tree

Through which

To see it.
