THIRSTY

There is a way
you twitch your lips
that leaves me yearning.

You ask
'why are you so thirsty?'

Like man is not insatiable
Like water was not made for thirst
And thirst for water

Like I do not see you
dissolve into streams
At the threshold of my thirst.

Yet you ask
'why are you so thirsty?'

There is a way
you leave me full
that keeps me wanting more.
