Asterope

Talk with me of longing sighs
Dream with me

The beauty of your jeans
the asymetric cut of your once-blonde hair

Your bunched-up passion and your angry moue
Your coquette's snigger and your grin

Drink gin and backpack to the Apennines
With me, always with me

Don't bury your head in that electric plate
That pill, that tablet, that fake whorl

Come sing, come talk, come dance
Not for me alone but with me in the world

Come experience the pain of others
The joy of others

This reduction of a life
Is not a life that grows

Sometimes the stars shine bright
Come shine with me, my star, tonight
