these golden jewels

i left a black shoe hanging

from a telephone wire

i threw hubcaps in the bushes

filled the creek with burning tires

i drove circles in the meadow

threw tvs off a cliff

i scattered dirty needles

in a grassy ditch

shopping carts of garbage

overturned in silver ponds

in fields of wild mustard

i abandoned several cars

at the edge of town

these golden jewels

i left them all for you

you

hiding in the falling leaves

and the spider's dew-dropped ring

you

lying in the muddy river

with ten thousand wild wings

i will set the world on fire

pluck the stars down from the sky

if you will spend with me

my dear

a single summer night

at the edge of town

my golden jewel

i'm waiting here for you
