"The Well" by Mael Brigde

 

The Well

 

on its surface

skims her reflected face

(no other mirror desired)

 

no more the red blush

of well-washed severed heads

 

by the healing waters

madness dampened

illness quenched

good winds called

drive fish and fishermen to meet

 

she drinks the dear water

cleans   protects   tends

her whole life through

the holy well
