The idea of the well




The idea of the well
Throaty in its store
Secrets a childish laugh
Come pulled up full
Then spilled
Into a fallen mirror
Swallowed by a wish

Of all the times
I sought you here
Now remains a fountain
I do not wish to touch
For fear of going dry

But springs don't mind
Their minding
And water seeks
Its holes
Discovering
Its store
