faded blue mountains
               ----------------------------------------------------------

               so what is it about
               the faded blue mountains
               silhouetting the horizon
               that stirs excitement longing and lonesomeness?

               so why does their shape
               so unlike and yet evocative of
               women's breasts and bellies
               bring on attraction sweet tangy regret?

               the faded blue mountains
               rise from the prairie
               the faded blue mountains
               lock in your eye
               the faded blue mountains
               put a fence to all shimmer
               the faded blue mountains
               promise the wet
               the faded blue mountains
               are always auxiliary
               the faded blue mountains
               can never be had

               like distant women's breasts and bellies
               on close approach
               the faded blue mountains
               resolve to detail texture and hue

               by the time you get to the faded blue mountains
               they just are not
               faded and blue
