Because of a few songs
Wherein I spoke of their mystery,
Women have been
Exceptionally kind
to my old age.
They make a secret place
In their busy lives
And they take me there.
They become naked
In their different ways
and they say,
«
Look at me, Leonard
Look at me one last time.»
Then they bend over the bed
And cover me up
Like a baby that is shivering.
