Generate meaning
1
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
2
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
3
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
4
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
5
Still, it's so much clearer now.
6
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.
7
The moon is low tonight.
8
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
9
I'm not sure all these people understand.
10
It's not like years ago,
11
The fear of getting caught,
12
of recklessness and water.
13
They cannot see me naked.
14
These things, they go away,
15
replaced by everyday.
16
Nightswimming, remembering that night.
17
September's coming soon.
18
I'm pining for the moon.
19
And what if there were two
20
Side by side in orbit
21
Around the fairest sun
22
That bright, tight forever drum
23
could not describe nightswimming
24
You, I thought I knew you
25
You, I cannot judge
26
You, I thought you knew me,
27
this one laughing quietly underneath my breath.
28
Nightswimming.
29
The photograph reflects,
30
every streetlight a reminder.
31
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night.
