Sorry love
the words i scrolled 
around the fountain
are closed.  
I’m not sure if you meant to
put the key
for that lock 
so deep in your pocket. 
Then require
permission
to access it. 
Oh I couldn’t 
just ask for a password
especially when there are rules
spoken or otherwise
in a world 
where there’s a top and bottom. 

I can clearly see the fountain
from high above
it’s easy to make out
there are many pieces
that create its shape.
It’s not exactly cylindrical
something most prefer
just as long as
the bowl can hold water
so we can hear 
it’s beautiful sound. 

Now
to the story
etched along the base
I also see
the fountain sits
in a private garden
where access is limited. 
For now 
at least anyway
I’ll try and read 
each day making out a word 
I won’t stop until 
I’ve read every line
to your public 
very private words
that require 
a password first.
