sattelites

i wrote this thinking of my girlfriends soon departure to cambodia (again)

"Sattelites"
by paolo macariola


counting the sattelites amongst the stars
i recount the brightness of the moon
soaked in warm silver
just before you leave

let me first cower into the darkness
with a handfull of memories

depart with my lines
for tonight shall i count the sattelites
sworn by the secrecy of lips, of skin
alone

there i would feel
the perfect loneliness

but
let me first cower into the darkness
with a handfull of memories
under the secrecy of sattelites
alone
