Abandoned Cistern

A few raindrops 
make it through
brush overgrowing
an ancient cistern.

They make the 
slightest sound
as they hit cool
still water. The

cistern used to be
famous. People 
gathered there. Some
were important

and carried themselves
so. Posture, gestures,
clothes, high talk.
They knew and didn't

know that one day
it would be as if
they'd never been 
anyone, anywhere, 

anything.
