I can feel your hand
Coming around on a porous day,
And the wind gently kisses your face,
And all the time is wrapped up
All in one place.
Do you remember
The way you smiled at me?
Glassy eyed.
I never thought I’d lose you,
I never thought about distance from the sea to the shore,
Oh, I never thought about distance when
I wouldn’t see you anymore…
(Glassy eyed)
VITALIA:
Oh, the pearls, the pearls of our love,
They’re so precious,
They shine,
They’re heavy,
They’re smooth,
Cast before swine, now aren’t they?
Spilled upon the floor,
The clattering,
I still hear it.
I don’t hear you cooking in the kitchen anymore,
I don’t hear the noises of you getting up in the morning.
What was sacred,
I just hear a clattering,
Clattering on the wood floor.
I remember how the sea smelled salty,
Like your sweat,
Like the regret that
My heart was so broken,
Cracked open,
So precious,
The pearls of our love,
Cast before swine!
I made me a new necklace,
One that’s closer to my heart.
You’re too far away to wear it.
It’s heavy and smooth,
And it shines in the right light…
