tiger eyes

I want a river
sliding downhill
through broken earth

clear hills of water
pushing against my wrists
when I kneel to drink

the gold in your eyes
the damp soil around my fingers
claw marks in the sand

That phrase drew me in, too. I like the way this feels so alive, and yet I can't quite separate what is "you" and what is "river"... whose eyes? whose claws? Which gives me a very nice sense of closeness, connectedness and flow. Immersion.

I guess we all have a thing about river images, don't we! I'm glad you like mine...you can come swim here any time!
I also love the feeling when everything is connected...I think that is why rivers are so compelling.
