Persephone - Patricia Barber[00:00:00]
Summer pales like a ghost of stubborn Spring[00:00:07]
This itch this prayerful longing for heat[00:00:16]
Belies an angel's desire to take wing[00:00:23]
So as you fall then fall into me sweet[00:00:30]
Persephone now your poet and guide[00:00:43]
Night after day after night I'll complete[00:00:47]
Your saintly goodness with its darker side[00:00:54]
As one without the other is naive[00:01:02]
Past Limbo to the Second Circle we slide[00:01:10]
When first you whisper that little white lie[00:01:39]
The gods will laugh[00:01:43]
The gods will cry[00:01:45]
In this soft circle Reason's slave to desire[00:01:55]
This feels like fun[00:02:00]
This feels like fire[00:02:01]
These small indiscretions may get lost over time[00:02:12]
So much like love[00:02:17]
So much like crime[00:02:18]
As fine fine fabric slipping over your skin[00:02:28]
This feels like silk[00:02:33]
This feels like sin[00:02:34]
Like a gentle dirty dream[00:02:52]
Like a room where you can hide[00:02:54]
Like confession in your sleep[00:02:56]
Like expression sanctified[00:02:59]
Like a devil like a friend[00:03:01]
Like a doctor who can end your pain[00:03:03]
Like a pillow like a kiss[00:03:10]
Like a party like a pill[00:03:13]
Like a priest my lovely lips[00:03:15]
As redemption will fulfill[00:03:17]
Every spectral midnight fantasy[00:03:20]
Each and every d*mning desire to be[00:03:25]
Complicit with me[00:03:33]
And as I leave you softly under the stars[00:04:45]
Without a scratch[00:04:49]
Without a scar[00:04:52]
Like hell on earth slipping under your skin[00:05:01]
This feels like love[00:05:05]
This feels like sin[00:05:07]
——end——*[00:05:09]
