River Life

RIVER LIFE Scene of bent over backs, knee deep, scrubbing – washboards in hand. Students in sharp uniforms, stone polished, follow the curves of the river bank, care for the small - so they don’t fall in. Small village boats throw their nets, catching tourists, tender smiles. Lazy children – splashing, dangling fishing lines, cooling skin. 11/15/2016
