The Sun is in a Precarious Spot

The sun is in a precarious spot
            hardly hanging on,
            sickly shining on,
            fading fast,
            trying to turn
                        off.

And here we walk on dirty streets.
And here we breathe in bus fumes.
I look at my hands
dirty like the gutter.

Everything meets the horizon - running or falling - too fast.

The Moon takes her spot suspended
above the rooftops.
She looks older than she is.
Like a whore overused…
                        by poets’ pens.

Her and i will die together one day –
            after Mr. Sun collapses
            in a crashing cacophony.
Ours will be silent.
