she splashed
       in every fountain

         a copperborn
            coin
who wished
            
                   to come true


bloodgiven
            to her tiny fist
                     from the mother

ready
wanting
              to throw

herself
       into the
              
         rocklined
   wellspring
fountain
          Youth


a wish of self--

               dreamheaded
            screaming redfaced
   alive          
      pain
                "I
                   am Here"


    accept me
          (wish)
     take me
          (wish)

                    I am alive
               I am tiny fist
          I am Well
       I am  copper coin
    I splash


I wish

I love that you honor and value

Hi Brian...I've always admired your poetry.  This one is no exception. To throw a coin, to make a wish and to have it come true....makes me smile.
