Miner’s blues

May it be an evening star

Shines bright upon you

May it be when darkness falls

Your heart will be true

You walk a lonely road

Oh! How far you are from home...

Ancient song from Mother Earth

The world is so cold my love… The Lover’s Kiss is not the Lover’s Kiss my love, it’s T5e-7X, just like that, a dry bunch of letters and numbers deep down in this God forsaken region… and only God knows to what cold gods astronomers pray to, to come up with such dry names.

Remember, my love? The Kaaikilen hills… Remember how we kissed goodbye under the autumn sky?

I do remember, my love. I remember it every day… or night… or whatever it is that it is up here, in this damned ****hole in space with T5e-7X shining nonstop upon my barge.

The Lover’s Kiss is not that tiny bright little star upon the Nonni sky, the first to shine the crisp nights of autumn… it’s not a tiny little star my love, it's a big hell of fire, and doesn’t glows sweetly at night but scorches this ****hole into eternal day, shining all the time, shines all the time until you HATE it, you just beg to it, please STOP, wane a bit, allow for sunrises and sunsets in this eternal whatever the hell it is up here…

The world is so cold my love…

Remember?

How we kissed under the Lover’s Kiss?

How we promised, my love...? How we promised to be true until I returned?

You promised, my love.

You promised.

But what can be expected from this cold world?

From lovers’ promises under burning hells?

From lovers’ kisses called T5e-7X?
