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
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.
