Galaxy

this was supposed to be final as if it were the last text whispered in a confessional tone but i know there's more so many instances within us galaxies of an unknown universe when i was a kid there was a well near the house I was amazed that the water never stopped rising down there it looked dark and scary but when the water came up in the metal buckets it was fresh and crystal clear if only I could do this with thoughts but what seems accurate and lucid inside me emerges indistinguishable like the confused remains from an ancient shipwreck

My, my...so well-expressed, Marco. I really enjoyed reading this. I think, too, when the thoughts rise, they become clearer, as does water in that well. Loved your metaphors, too.

this well really existed, we used to get drinking water from it, in the sixties.
