of want and misery

i want to take a drink
feel the waters wet my lips
and let the coolness caress my throat.

it doesn't take much
only a few frigid drops
or a small, steady stream.

but i open the gates
and let the rapids rush forth
drowning any doubt of my delights.

but i've done too much
and the waters that i wanted
have carelessly killed my conscience.
