AC 07. 《河口之处（一） III》| At the Mouth of the River (1483)

音乐剧《河口之处》第一部第三曲--【歌词】At the Mouth of the River (1483)The sun has chewed the skin from my neck.My tongue is leather.Even Godhas stopped speakingout here.For seventy daysI've slept beside barrelsthat smell of rotten water,rats,and men too sickto remember their own names.The deck burns.The tar melts.Every nail in this shipis hotter than a priest's promise.Miguel coughed blood yesterday.No one looked.The sea keeps everything....Then—Someone shouts.Land.Not the pale cliffs of home.Not another island.Something darker.Something breathing.Green climbs out of the waterlike the worldbefore Adam.I smell earthbefore I see it.Wet leaves.Mud.Flowers I've never prayed for.I could weepfor the smell alone.Then—At the edge of the river,a woman.Bare feet in brown water.Her hands moving slowlyinside a black clay pot,washing,turning,washing again.As though the worldhad never broken.She lifts her head.Looks at me.Not afraid.Only curious.As if I amthe strange animal.The impossible thingwashed ashore.I suddenly remembermy mother's handswashing bowlsoutside our housein Porto.The same water.The same circles.The same silence.How can the end of the earthlookso muchlike home?一南 | Yinan前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动
