Her spirit died in Paris
But her man looked for her
On the vast skies he searched
Of a woman named Selene
-
Selene was his opium
Described a charlatan of sanity
Had she gone with Antares and Capella?
Or swam with Saturn in the east?
-
She was a whore, a lowly whore
But her red locks danced in the night breeze
Haven't I told her? He was looking, come home
Only to find she was nothing to believe in
-
And she was of seventh magnitude
Yet he loved her, until he lost everything
No, it wasn't Auriga's fault
It was her beauty who killed him
---------
A/N: I dedicate this to Selene, to Madame Auguste de Montpellier of Elizabeth Redfern's The Music of the Spheres. The book had a great ending. Thanks for sharing the story with me, lady Elizabeth.
*Antares and Capella are stars, Auriga is a constellation where Capella can be seen.
