Letter Boxed April 12, 2024 Answers

This took a while; it’s from the April 10 LB array:

ECLIPSE

As intern newscasters
Sprinkle the swept dust of slapstick replicants,
Newspapers stickle and reprint the caws of ever-wackier reptilian sons.
Our planet is a mere speck
Among celestial sprinters,
A splinter, a pawn.
But when the moon interlaps* the sun
Day interknits with a pewter light like dusk,
Enprints like crewel
The specter of an answer.

A wren rode hidden in an eagle’s wing–**
A spacewalk of sorts, to interstitial air.

notes: * Synonym for overlaps
** According to legend, the bird that could fly to the highest altitude would be made king. The eagle outflew all other birds, but he was beaten by a small bird that had hidden in his plumage.

words:
eclipse, intern newscasters, sprinkle, swept, slapstick replicants, newspapers stickle, reprint, caws, wackier reptilians, planet, pawn, celestial, sprinters, splinter, speck, interlaps, interknits, pewter, enprints, crewel, specter, answer, wren, spacewalk, interstitial

A very tidy OA.
