WELL WATER

Well water - deep well water -
sometimes has that cold solid taste -
that fills the mouth with the feeling
of iron - liquid heaviness - and it
doesn’t even have to turn to wine
to taste sacred. It brings pause.
It brings the lifting of one’s cup
to the skies - with the comment,
“Now this is water - water that
I don’t taste from the tap or
at the restaurant table.” Now
what else am I missing from
the depths of the earth?
