celestials

I

the night shall tarnish the day,
the moon shall stand toward the sun
and grow red with a heady blood
abandoned from its native heart.
(M.A.)

II

He stands before the sun
so as to see his shadow
before him - distrusting the dark
in his character.
(O.C.)

III

at this hour the moon
controls the light, yet
its face suffers - aware of,
awaiting - the preeminence
of day.
(RIII)

Toll Road

gather up the lease of love,
which by either debt or due,
softens life's tread to move
and follow two-by-two.

catch a counterfeit coin by rim
and flick it for the sun;
it casts a light thats blind and grim;
such shadows grow, such shadows run.

words like electric lightbulbs: burning brightly by the electricity which moves through them. And so too the snap of darkness (more like sleep) by switch or fuel gone; it meets the sentence both at its centre, and again at its full stop.
