[matt, spoken]
i don’t what to call her. she’s too vibrant for a name. what shall i call her?

(sung)
juliet?

[luisa]
yes, dear!

[matt]
helena?

[luisa]
yes, dear!

[matt]
and cassandra, and cleopatra, and beatrice. and also—
(sung)
guinevere?

[luisa, spoken]
what, dear?

[matt, spoken]
i think she’s there. can you hear me?
[luisa, spoken]
barely.

[matt, spoken]
i’ve been speaking of you.

[luisa, spoken]
to whom?

[matt, spoken]
to them. i told them that if someone were to ask me to describe you, i would be utterly and totally speechless. except to say, perhaps, that you are polaris or the inside of a leaf.

[luisa, spoken]
speak a little louder.

[matt]
i love you!

[luisa, spoken, swooning]
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

[matt]
if i were in the desert deep in sand
and the sun was burning like a hot pomegranate:
walking through a nightmare in the heat of a summer day
until my mind was parch+ed!
then you are water…
cool, clear water…
a refreshing glass of water!
[luisa, spoken]
what dear?

[matt]
water!

[luisa, spoken, swooning]
ah, ah, ah, ah!

[matt]
love! you are love!
better far than a metaphor
can ever, ever be
love! you are love!
my mystery—of love!

if the world was like an iceberg
and everything was frozen
and tears turned into icicles in the eye
and snow came pouring—
and sleet and ice—
came stabbing like a knife
then you are heat
a fire alive with heat!
a flame that thaws the iceberg with its heat!
[luisa, spoken]
repeat?

[matt]
you are heat!

[luisa, spoken, swooning]
ah, ah, ah, ah!

[matt & luisa]
love (i am love)
you are love (i am love)

[matt & luisa]
better far than a metaphor
can ever, ever be

[matt & luisa]
love (i am love)
you are love (i am love)
my mystery (his mystery)

[matt & luisa]
of love!

[matt]
you are polaris
the one trustworthy star

[matt & luisa]
you are! (i am!)
you are! (i am!)

[matt]
you are september
a special mystery

[matt & luisa]
to me! (to he!)
to me! (to he!)

[matt]
you are sunlight! moonlight!
mountains! valleys!
the microscopic inside of a leaf!

[matt & luisa]
my joy! (yes, i am his joy!)
my grief! (yes, i am his grief!)
my star! (yes, i am his star!)
my leaf! (yes, i am his leaf!)

[matt & luisa, luisa]
oh, love! (i am love!)

[matt & luisa]
you are love! (i am love!)

[matt & luisa]
better far than any metaphor
can ever, ever be

[matt & luisa]
love (i am love)
you are love (i am love)
my mystery (his mystery)

[matt & luisa]
of love
love
love!
