The Well Of Grief


Those who will not slip beneath 
the still surface on the well of grief,

turning down through its black water
to the place we cannot breathe

will never know the source from which we drink
the secret water, cold and clear,

nor find in the darkness glimmering,

the small round coins
thrown by those who wished for something else
