Where are you? she yelled down the well.
I am here. Can you not see me?
No she answered.
I can only see a dark smudge
out of the corner of my eye.
Where are you? she yelled down the well.
I am still here. Can you not hear me?
No she answered.
I can only hear a faint humming
in the depths of my ear.
Where are you? she yelled down the well.
When are you coming back?
 
I cannot answer her.
