The Lover Of The Stars Poem by Gianfranco Aurilio

"Look! A comet."
"The comet!
The lover of the stars.
Among the noblest
and most precious
stars of the sky."
"Why do they call it the lover of the stars? "
"Because the sky is harmony
but there's no harmony
if there's no satisfaction
and the stars
need a lover
who comes to see them
now and then
and if the stars
explode once in a while
that means
that they are unsatisfied
and sad
and tired
and that the comet
hasn't arrived in time
to love them.
This is why stars shine.
Because they're happy."
"I want to be a star, too."
