I took my shirt off in the yard
But too deliberately
It was a mistake to rely on having my treasures seen
To wait there where my shoulders glowed in golden beams
I ignored my gold swollen purse
And I pursed my lips in thirst
For the reassuring kiss that never came to me
And then cursing my own buoyancy
My blessed breaths just annoyed me
Until the ball of glowing moon sent some sense to me
When I saw it beaming down I noticed my two feet
And the obvious expanse
And my flickering romance
With a swan under my coat
And with this song I send from throat
With the dawn and with getting older
And with my golden glowing shoulders
I climbed mountains on my own and found you on them
I climbed mountains by myself and found you up there
