Ancient Cistern Full
Huge worn stone lid removed
--- dragged to one side -
centuries ago, and not moved since ---
nestled in grassy pasture land;
cistern filled -
w/ cool rippling water -
brilliant and overflowing:
big open sky above,
azure, brighter, deepest:
one last dark cloud
dejectedly drifts away.
