Pennies in the Well

Last updated on March 2, 2023

Pennies in the Well

before there was

a place

to put the well

before there was

a spot

a space

a child made

and covered over

there were 7 rusty pennies

decades later

alone in the sand

she went digging

the excavation took

For

Ever

After

but one day

in the Month of March

with the wind on waves

she kneeled down

in the water

and found 3 pennies

the ones she wished on

at the fountain

when there was nothing

but sound

of them sinking

down

to the bottom
