ECLIPSE

The sun boy runs adolescent
he wants to catch up with the moon;

the girl moon dances flirting
she dodges the arms of the sun;

sometimes, her mother
meddles in their encounters
she does not want her daughter taken away
she would remain alone in the darkness.

ECLIPSE

ECLIPSE

El niño corre adolescente
quiere alcanzar a la luna;

la niña luna danza coqueta
esquiva los brazos del sol;

a veces su madre
se entromete en sus encuentros
no quiere que se lleven a su hija
se quedará sola en la oscuridad.
