"I THIRST"


Study for a Figure at the Base
of a Crucifixion by Francis Bacon


I THIRST

God,  at times,  I am all thirst.
I am hunger, want, desire, fire,
drought, itch, cry, complaint.
And by accident or coincidence,
I spot your dry mouth open on
the cross blurting out, “You thirst?
I thirst? Where have you been?”
