Escuchando Nightswimming de R.E.M, nadando en esa corriente, escribiendo sobre tanta agua calma.
Me hace pensar en el momento ese tramposo de tener que aprenderse, de conocerse las miserias, de jurarse crecer. También de cuando nos gustaba vivir en los resquicios de lo posible, de cuando los libros no alcanzan, de cuando viajar era cerrar los ojos y tomar su mano.
Me suena a espantarnos los mosquitos y discutir lo que seremos cuando ya no seamos más esto que a veces nos duele, que a veces nos cura. Me vuelve al tiempo de los estirones y las bicicletas.
A enero bajo el agua, a febrero con los pies al borde de la pileta, al borde de otro año, al borde, en fin, del futuro nuestro, esa cosa indecisa que nos hacía temblar.
Pero nos reíamos. Nos reíamos y eso era el verano: el sentido de la posibilidad.
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,
this one laughing quietly underneath my breath.
Nightswimming.
The photograph reflects,
every streetlight a reminder.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night.
