well fragment

by Betania Tesch

you are a well
into which I've
allowed myself to fall
most willingly.
I thought I'd
never thirst again,
but now I see
there's nothing to do
but drown.

outstretch your limbss, be still, and the water will carry you in its arms...

could it by any chance be a wishing well??? maybe if you really believe hard enough??? ... sounds like a time to believe in fairy tales again...and wish for that "happy end"
