girl in the well

they find
a girl in a well.
which is now
a cave,
a thousand feet
deep full
of fish
and water,
the bones
of an elephant,
a saber tooth
tiger.
it's just her
arm,
a piece of chalk
colored
leg, her
small skull,
the rest of her
is gone.
they give her a
name, they make
up a story as
to how she ended
there.
they write a
book, and spin
another web on
the evolutionary
trail. but you
think of her,
as just a girl
who lost
her way,
then fell into
a very deep well.
