<PRE>
HOUSE OF THE MAN ATHIRST

I am a desert sand,
desert of thirst.
Your mouth is the well
where I sannot drink.

Mouth, a well open
To all sands of the desert.

Water in the midst
of a burning world.
Your body, yours,
Which is never ours.

Body, blocked well-spring,
By sun and sand consumed.
</PRE>
