Wishing Well by Kate Schmitt
The mesh of the blanket tangles
and lumps of comforter
two-toned flannel and bedspread
twist and slip.
I haven't slept in a week
so i wear my brown hooded
sweatshirt with the hoodstrings
pulled tight around my face.
I picture a wishing well
with edges of greening minerals
and coins dull with old water.
I throw my wish in a copper arc.
After I've thrown it I lie
unconcerned. These things take time.

a. After we moved to our new house, I didn’t sleep for three days. I felt just as frustrated as the speaker in the poem.
