In my life, down this well.
Draw the bucket up.
Dark, cold and clean.

Just a touch from a friend.

Do you know the stars?
The stew of light and shadow?
A meal for a prayer barely breathing?

Love tastes like smooth stones.
Mineral wash, pearl.
Sunlight fade, dawn.

Just.

The warm cocoon
and net.
Next.

Just me.

"love tastes like smooth stones"...what a great line...the whole poem touched me, made me want to say, yes, I'll be your friend, and then made me want to cry....go figure.
