Woman At The Well


You thought He was

the gardener

But He was the garden.

Every seed knows this.

Creature and Creator

both get parched

with longing.

They meet here by a well.

He loves you because,

though you've had other paramours,

you are always alone

lingering in this place

between heartbeats.

He asks you for a drink.

Here's the secret:

You are his thirst

and the well

is your breath.
