wishing wall really,

when money is simply lost.

except for a hope, a paid euphoria,

a paid heaven, otherwise

it was a dead well.

hope with a toss, hope with a flutter of lips

vibrating almost –

and what is it in for you

wishing well?

a rainbow promise never occurs

in dank, dried up hole

left forgotten and where people come to spit,

forgotten it is,

of what it means to toss and mutter wishes well.

because memories are long, walls do break

their silence: wish you gone.

pleading,

mercy,

grace,

hope,

savior,

help.

silence.

silence.

silence.

wishing wall breaks her bricks

and the lips no longer move.

at least now you’re real,

a hole meant to be filled,

so much work to be done

when well wishes and well whatever

are just bricks on a wall,

and i had build this wishing well.
