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 waters 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 every day.
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,
This one laughing quietly
Underneath my breath.
Nightswimming
The photograph reflects,
Every streetlight a reminder.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
deserves a quiet night.
So, this is my LJ, which I probably won’t use all that often. If you are reading this and do not know the song from whence the above lyrics, and also my username, came, I command you to listen!
…and that’s about it for now…
