Characters: as above. it should be obvious which one is which - hopefully.
Notes: This quote was begging to be ficced with Tezuka and Yukimura. If anyone out there has a bunny that fits, and wants to try it, do so and I will fangirl you forever.
“Heaven shall not brook two suns, nor earth two masters” - Alexander the Great
call
Bright is the light of your countenance,
blazing and far away -
gazing at your glory, my brother,
I feel the pain of kinship.
I would have liked to speak with you
about many things
kings and cabbages, and how I watch and shelter
and endlessly stoop to prune
while you stand aloft, steadying your chariot,
and the saplings turn from east to west to face you.
But not on this earth. Two suns cannot share one heaven,
Nor painlessly meet in orbit.
The time for our spheres to intersect is past;
I shall not lose myself in you, nor you in me.
Lest we be broken like the shattering of stars
response
A time-consuming duty, these satellites of mine
and yours - against my measured stillness you strike
the perfect balance
like the consummate trapeze artist, you juggle,
extemporize – spinning, revolution:
eternal movement around
constant gravity.
This steady fragile act, this static changing; yours and mine
I grow weary of it.
And long to fall, fall towards a collision,
To be scorched bare by the sound of nuclear explosions.
For it is in the maiming that we grow,
in the losing that we are found.
We shall destroy each other
And be reborn in molten fire.
I swear they made perfect sense at the time. Really.
