the tainted well

when the water is tainted
you can't drink it.

you can no longer drop the bucket
into the well
and pull up a fresh clean
drink.

something has died and fallen in.
it's over
for that supply,

no more love, no more quenching
of any thirst.

so it goes with sin.
unforgiven, unforgotten,
repeated
over and over again.
