Reminiscent of a Reservoir

Tall walls around,

surround.

You can walk the embankment perimeter

see nourishment within

the lifewater.

Contained, restrained,

pooled for protection and future use.

Sometimes

The level is low.

Other times

Filled to the brim.

And there’s machinery required to make it all go. 

The brain is in a little brick castle. 

Don’t worry, there’s a bridge.

You can get there from the ridge.

In my dream, there’s a caboose-boat heart-beached on the rocky shore.
