Pia Andersson - Star boy

What kind of woman do you want
Star boy?
My intellect was never strong enough
to keep you.
You could never understand
the soil, the grass wasn´t for you,
busy howling to the stars and the moon.
That map isn´t mine, Star boy.
Is independence really a virtue?

I can hear you howling,
as I´m laying in the grass.
I want to forget you,
but your fingerprints never left my body.

Pia Andersson
