Fragment Attributed to Sappho
(found in the ruins on Centauri Prime)

 
 
Let me go then
If it doesn't really matter,
What's it to you, anyway?
You aren't my mother,
And you don't really want to be my lover,
Do you?
So what's the point?
Let me go.

If you remember …

Where you first took me…
< > … re … < >
Beneath the halo'd moon …
… the cool waters
Hide Gabrielle's tears and…
< >
The feigned surprise
Your family showed me
When our weekend stretched to months.
< >
At the last equinox when the new star
Rivaled even Aurora's brilliance,
I took i……. n…. omen that ...
… and I should leave
While memories are sweetly kissed
And you …
< the rest is lost>
