thewomanofwater.

there once was a woman of water
refused a wizard his hand.
so he took the tears of a statue 
and the weight from a grain of sand
and he squeezed the sap from a comet
and the height from a cypress tree
and he drained the dark from midnight
and he charmed the brains from a bee
and he soured the mixture with thunder
and stirred it with ice from hell
and the woman of water drank it down
and she changed into a well.

there once was a woman of water
who was changed into a well
and the well smiled up at the wizard
and down down down that old wizard fell.
