wishes
In Chinatown by the stalls
There is a magic place
A wishing well where
I tossed a coin years ago
The water rippled and I forgot
The wish so long ago
Until yesterday when
You kissed me
Casually without much thought
That concentric circle of a dream
Came back to me
The memory complete as I
Inhaled as you exhaled
Breathing you in and holding
To the waves in my heart
On my lips there was
The taste of a wish
Sweeter than any
I could have imagined
