sappho is cool

you burn me


you came and i was crazy for you
and you cooled my mind that burned with longing

i don't know what to do
two states of mind in me


for the man who is beautiful is beautiful to see
but the good man will at once also beautiful be.


stars around the beautiful moon
hide back their luminous form
whenever all full she shines
on the earth


silvery

sappho speaks to me
the way that most men
allow themselves to me
dont be fooled
i am a midas girl
and the gold that i give
comes at
a price.
