[xanthias]
what was she like? your wife?

[dionysos]
ah…
she was young, she was wild
ariadne…
she was shy, like a child
had this funny dimple when she smiled
lips as soft as petals
hair the color of the sun
br–sts —

[xanthias]
i get it

[dionysos]
and eyes that looked at me as if i were a god
which i am

[xanthias]
half

[dionysos]
you steer

[xanthias]
tell me more

[dionysos]
being young, feeling odd
i mean, when you’re married to a god
mingling with the likes of
zeus and hera, aphrodite and apollo…

[xanthias]
namedropper

[dionysos]
so i gave her a crown
on the day we were wed
“if you look like a goddess
you’ll feel like a goddess,”
i said
ariadne…

and the years filled with joy
and my heart filled with pride
just to know ariadne was there at my side
then she died
being mortal, she died…

she was young, she was shy
ariadne…
she was young, as was i
surely, she was much too young to die
so i flung her crown high into the sky
in a rage
with a cry:
“ariadne!… ariadne!…”

and its jewels broke free
and they never came down
but they stayed there as stars
in the shape of a crown
and they’re there every night
as a sign of our love
and it fills me with joy
and it fills me with pain

it reminds me of how much
i miss her and want her
and wish every day she were here
there are no stars in h-ll
just as well…

ariadne… ariadne… ariadne…
