human nature

 

Adam's complaint

Some people,
no matter what you give them,
still want the moon.

The bread, the salt,
white meat and dark,
still hungry.

The marriage bed
and the cradle,
still empty arms.

You give them land,
their own earth under their feet,
still they take to the roads.

And water: dig them the deepest well,
still it's not deep enough
to drink the moon from.

I think it's beautifuly described us, human being, I've found Levertov's poem this morning while I was sipping coffee,  and trying organize myself to work, autumn mornings are hard to be ready for smile but I'm good girl, I wake up at 6.30 every morning, it's like night outsiede, days wait to be exposed by heavy fog.
