Still it’s so much clearer. I forgot my shirt   at   the water’s edge.                              |    | The moon is low   tonight. {Play Rhy. Fig. 1}    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. This one laughing quietly     underneath   my breath.                  |    |  Nightswimming. {Play Rhy.
