Don’t listen To Puccini with a restless heart

Nessuono puo rubare destino!

(or, Don’t listen To Puccini with a restless heart)

For 7290 Minutes

Has he treasured you

or some idea he has of you

Recondita armonia, di bellezze diverse!

Does he wonder about you

or just wander about you?

For 7291 minutes

Does he NEED to know what your favorite book is

why you smile the way you do, when you're scared

È bruna Floria, l'ardente amante mia

Why it's so hard for you to get to that moment

where safety abides, and truth takes over

For 7293 minutes

does he wonder how you do everything

how you can stand at the end of the day

O dolci baci, o languide carezze,
does he want to make it easier

or just make it his?

For 7296 minutes

has he ever held the real you?

has he looked down to see

la finestra per sempre

or something less

something veiled and

something vinyl…and plasitc…and safe

For 7297 minutes

has hung on every truth

or clung to every fantasy?

Entrava ella fragrante, mi cadea tra le braccia

does he even know?

or are the deepest truths reserved

for me, and you… and moonlight.

For 7299 minutes

I can think of nothing else

Il mio sol pensier sei tu,
