When The Well Spills Out Its Water Poem by RIC BASTASA

When The Well Spills Out Its Water

Rating: 5.0


the well spills out water
what was beneath
rose and everyone
even children touch
the surface

when once it was dry
the hollowness
plays mystic to the wind
the deep voices
sing the notes of
what was once interesting

now we play on its waters
as though there is nothing to know
so unimportant

Really, really love this poem. It says so much, and it leaves so much unsaid that it achieves a kind of equilibrium which is comforting and perfect.
