What and Where Is This Well We Implore

What and where is this "well" we implore

in subtle nuanced wishing speech:

"Oh ...!" or "Oh ...?" or "Oh ...."

amazing how a single sided conversation can take one to such exotic places ~

words spoken are so irrevocable - like the splash of Basho's frog -- the ripples resound mightily ~

Or is there just the falling into the bottomless deep -
