IF STATUES CAN TALK

It is true,
the things that disappear,
are usually the nicest.

IF STATUES CAN TALK-TheHParticleMuseum

preface

In these shadows
All that they crave, turns to dust
Into the deep
There are secrets I bury

I've seen the Sun falling
I've heard the Queen crying
Three hundred and six years of
Silenced dreams

la fourberie
statue, marbre, 1684

Behind the velvet mask

Who was the King's favorite of all?


Under the moonlight

She was dancing with the Sun

A thousand roses bloomed in the garden

I smell the burning desire

Like storm in the morning light


Ohh, can't anybody see

The Queen was fighting for a losing war

nymphe et amour
groupe, bronze, 1685

His love,

Like a shooting star falling down

Landed in the Queen's eyes

Blew out the Sun, the moon

No day, no dawn

Left her forever in the twilight


A black baby was born and was taken away

She screamed out loud

Tears dropped in the lake from her empty eyes

Every day, every night


I'm sorry,

The things that disappear

Are usually the nicest

Persée et Andromède
groupe, marbre, 1679

The second I saw her

Naked tied to the rock

I had this rush of blood to the head


So I started a riot for her

I burned for her

I twisted the sword of Athena and

bled my aching heart


I kneeled and crawled to her

Until she believed in me

And I would never be ignored
