no place
for the moon—
wishing well
-Mirela Brailean
(The Heron's Nest, Vol XXIII.3, Sept 2021)
Mirela's words on her poem:
Since I was young, I have had the belief that achieving my goals is possible. If I place a coin in a well-known location, it will come back to me. Due to the large number of coins, there are many like me. My wishes have not always been fulfilled. But I didn't give up. Whenever I get the chance, I repeat this gesture that brings me joy and hope.
So many wishes edging out the moon.
Even the wishing well is crowded with coins..no place for the reflection of the moon!
