Near Parry Sound Ontario Canada

i remember being down the well
shovelling sand into a bucket
feeling the cold grip of the
spring around my legs and ankles
reaching up and being just able
to dump the bucket
it was only a couple of tiles deep
five feet deep was all it was
cold clear water
clear stone free sand on the bottom
an underground river running
through the property where we
stayed No hydro
propane little gas stove
to cook on
fire outside for tea and cooking
a backhouse for doing the business
lots of trees for shade
and for listening to at night
with the winds reaching through
their arms
the stars wavering as they moved
across the sky

..O..
