ACT TWO – The Labours of the Broken

[Scene 1 – The Abandoned]

[female voice 2, PSYCHE]
The palace is gone.
The gold is dust.
The hands that held me in the dark
are only air now.

I lit the lamp.
I burned the god.
I am the knife that cut my own throat
and still I call his name.

[choir]
Sister poison.
Sister lie.
You looked.
You lost.

[female voice 2, PSYCHE]
Let the wind take the rest of me.
Let the stones remember my shame.
I had heaven in my mouth
and I spat it out for a single drop of light.

[Scene 2 – The Temple of Venus]

[female voice 1, VENUS]
Look at the little thief.
Still breathing.
Still beautiful enough to offend me.

You want him back?
Then earn the right to crawl.

First labour.
Separate the seeds before the sun rises.
Every grain. Every kind.
Fail and the ants will eat your eyes.

[choir]
Sort the dust.
Sort the death.
Hands bleed.
Time dies.

[female voice 1, VENUS]
She finishes.
How touching.
The insects helped the insect.

Second labour.
The golden rams.
Their wool burns like fire.
Bring me a single lock
or I will braid your hair into a noose.

[choir]
Hooves and horns.
Blood on gold.
Run or burn.
Run or burn.

[female voice 1, VENUS]
She returns with the fleece.
Still alive.
How inconvenient.

Third labour.
The black water of the Styx.
One drop on mortal skin is forever.
Fill the crystal jar
and try not to scream when it touches you.

[choir]
River of hate.
River of ice.
Drink and die.
Touch and freeze.

[female voice 1, VENUS]
She succeeds again.
Even the dead rivers obey her.
I am almost impressed.
Almost.

[Scene 3 – The Box of Beauty]

[female voice 1, VENUS]
One last task, little spark.
Go down to the house of Persephone.
Ask for a box of her beauty.
Do not open it.
Bring it to me sealed
or stay in the dark forever.

[female voice 2, PSYCHE]
I will go.
I have already died once.
The second time is only quieter.

[choir]
Coins for the ferryman.
Cake for the dog.
Silence for the dead.
Do not look back.

[female voice 2, PSYCHE]
The water is black glass.
The air tastes of old tears.
Persephone gives the box without a word.
Her eyes are older than pity.

I walk the long road up.
The box is light.
The box is warm.
The box is singing to me.

Just one look. (Nooo)
Just one breath of what the gods keep for themselves.

[choir]
No.
No.
No.

[female voice 2, PSYCHE]
I open it.

Nothing.
Only sleep.
Thick. Black. Final.

I fall.
The ground does not catch me.
It simply accepts.

[male voice 1, CUPID]
I see you.
I cannot reach you yet.
Your curiosity is a second knife
and this time it cut us both.

[choir]
She sleeps.
She sleeps the sleep of the almost-dead.
The god watches.
The god bleeds.
The dark keeps her.
