Sun-Sets
The metallurgical gears in the axel’s of the sun grind laboriously, emitting it’s iron will as it rises to the theatrical pinnacle in the sky.
The Sun and the Moon, meet briefly for a showdown on the set of Dusky Nightfall, just as the night is calling. it closes the day on a final curtain call.
The Moon cold tastes the metallic hydrogen emitted by the Sun's rays.
The Moon looks forward to that one second in aeons of milliseconds where golden fire torches its nickeled countenance in its furnace. The Moon withstands the Sun’s cremating rays — just. It’s silvery moon-dust a sunscreen protecting it on its evolutionary migration.
The Sun arrives on the red carpet, the Moon excited applauds as moonbeams flash capturing the moment.
The Sun is momentarily blinded by the flashes of the moons-beams.
The Sun, asks the Moon, the same question its been asking billions of years now.
“I’m exhausted, why must I toil every day to rise only to fall once again?”, the Sun questions on an agonizing breath of molten radiation.
“You chose to be a star, that is the price you pay for fame, it comes along with stardom” replies the Moon on an interrupted hiccup as it imbibes from the Sun's wavelengths.
“Oh, yeah right”, yawns the sun.
“You shine so brightly, look how many fans orbit your force de proposition, your nature,
“What about you Luna, why do you wait here for me every day?”.
“You’ve captured me in your forcefield, I’ve been waiting for that autograph you’ve promised me”.
“I have such a busy schedule, did I really make such a promise?”
“Yes, you did, that is why I wait here every single day, can you fit me in for that couch-talk, I’d like my 15 minutes of fame, you know, the eclipse”
“Send me the script”, says the Sun as he hurries by other ageing stars that have lost their glitter.
“You’re going to love it Sunny, its a dramatic comedy, “A Place In The Sun”.
“Oh, you mean like, “Where the Sun Don’t Shine”.
The Moon sighs, “Yes my arse, The Dark-side of the Moon”.
“I’m sure I’ll love it”, exclaims the Sun, on a burp of gaseous phases.
The Moons backside basks in the limelight, as it rises on the tail of the Sun's sulphuric emissions of ether.
