I Lust Therefore I Am

from Love Unbidden - love poems for Irene by Peggy Seeger

lyrics

I LUST THEREFORE I AM
(1989)

We’re hungry
We eat
We’re thirsty
We drink
We’re lusty
We kiss
Then pause
To think

We honour
The hunger
We honour
The thirst
But passion’s
Untrustworthy
Thought should
Come first

We’re happy
We laugh
We’re sorry
We cry
Postpone
Loving
Too late
We die

I’m hungry
I’m thirsty
No caution
No art
I’m lusty
Thinking
Is not worth
A fart
