Nightswimming |
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night |
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago, |
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows |
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse |
Still, it’s so much clearer |
I forgot my shirt at the water’s edge |
The moon is low tonight |
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night |
I’m not sure all these people understand |
It’s not like years ago, |
The fear of getting caught, |
Of recklessness and water |
They cannot see me naked |
These things, they go away, |
Replaced by everyday |
Nightswimming, remembering that night |
September’s coming soon |
I’m pining for the moon |
And what if there were two |
Side by side in orbit |
Around the fairest sun? |
That bright, tight forever drum |
Could not describe nightswimming |
You, I thought I knew you |
You, I cannot judge |
You, I thought you knew me, |
