It was a dot
which floated.
It was the eye
jaundiced.
Maybe the
beginning
of degeneration.
Macular senses
dulled by
a speck of
space dust.

Now I don’t feel so bad that I missed it — you gave me a visual and a great description. Thanks, Jerry!
I didn’t get to see it so I appreciate your photos. Also your take on it!!!
