Her name is
Jingle Gravesend
and she was the there when the Sphinx was newly built
Her name is
Jingle Gravesend
and she was there when the Sun burst to life
in the sky.
Her name is
Jingle Gravesend
and she fought in the Crusades on a black horse
and wherever she rode
Death would step to the side let her have her way.
Her name is Jingle Gravesend
and
todays she sits by a Wishing Well
and she is thinking about her Cat
with the mismatched eyes
and her dog with two faces
and she is thinking about the years
she has spent
without them
then she hides her face in her hands
and she wishes with all of her might
after she drops her coins
into the Wishing Well at the Garden at Bancroft Manor
that no one sees her crying.
