SMOKY SUN SMOKY MOON

"Tell me the story about how the Sun loved the Moon so much he died every night to let her breathe..." -Hanoko Ishii

Smoke filled clouds

Covering the sun.

Covering the moon.

"They will continue this chase, until the Sun shatters, engulfing the moon and everything in a burst of light..." -Kelseyleigh Reber

Orange pink clouds from the fires south

The moon hidden with orangeade smoke by night.

Pink cotton candy clouds 

Billow and wallow.

"Life. This morning the sun made me adore it. It had, behind the dripping pine trees, the oriental brightness, orange and crimson, of a living being, a rose and an apple....a daily paradise..." 

                                         -Juan Ramon Jimenez

And the moon burnt orange  like a bloody eyeball.

And the smell of fire smoke.

Everywhere............

"There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls..." - George Carlin
