“Heatwave”

~ Linda Ronstadt

"Sex, as they harshly call it,/ I fell into this morning/ at ten o'clock, a drizzling hour/ of traffic and wet newspapers./ I thought of him who yesterday/ clearly didn't/ turn me into a hot field/ ready for plowing,/ and longing for that young man/ pierced me to the roots/ bathing every vein, etc./ All day he appears to me/ touchingly desirable,/ a prize one could wreck one's peace for./ I'd call it love if love/ didn't take so many years/ but lust too is a jewel/ a sweet flower and what/ pure happiness to know/ all our high-toned questions/ breed in a lively animal."
