Shadows Don't Dance

Eclipse 1:(noun) Celestial bodies and the darkness they share

Education begins by looking up with wonder

Classes are seats and activities, not orders of people

Liminal yet luminous, our space is personal

Iniquity creeps (is creeping?) unmusical, hiding majestic shapes

Periods gained meaning with gibbous momentum

Sickles of light, unrevealing, hungered for the growths you saw by

Education began. We had shadows. We had puppets.

Acrostic
