"There's not much doubt in any of our minds that no complete idea springs fully formed from our brow,
needing only a handshake and a signature on the contract to send it off into the world to make twenty-five billion dollars.
The germ of the idea grows slowly..." - Walt Kelly

Mahwah

NaPoWriMo Day Twenty-Nine. Loosely on-prompt. 

This well is a memory -
no, wait, scratch that, reverse it - 
and it is as deep and dark
as sleep-ridden eyelids, driven 
to the brink by a slurry of
mid-class bourbon and small talk. 
It was worth it - captured in
the twinkle of fairy lights, 
drawn on in scribbles by a long
exposure and the shake of a 
deft hand - thank goodness. 
Where are they now? Too many 
sunsets have passed, too many 
moments have gone unshared, 
too much bourbon sitting corked
in the back of the fridge - someone
should drink it, but it wouldn't 
be true justice to do it alone.
