"tributary"

tributary


a pair of feet linger

under inches of

cold river water.

they frame a face:

a pair of eyes.


and in them light

lingers from below,

projecting whispers of

a broken bottleneck:

sunken deposition.


a pair of hands extend

and so palms are doused

for the sake of glass,

transparent inquisition.


later on, a mouth tells her:

“it really was beautiful!

can you imagine how old

the pair of lips were

that drank from it?”
