Wishing Well
By Nabil Abou Baker

He stood there – peering down the black abyss,
Unable to see the actual depth of
The water. After staring long enough
He began to see what resembled her,
Her reflection that is, in the water.
He lifted and dropped a round gray stone
Down the well – the bottomless pit. The stone
Never made a sound. It was quietly
Engulfed by the darkness. Though he did
See the stone distort her image for only some
Moments. He placed both his hands in their own
Respective pockets and pulled out a ring
With the right and a coin with the left hand.
He paused and thought and threw the right one.
