Two Rivers

Two Rivers

Stark naked she slowly shrivelled her exposed vacant mind

shed dry viscous tears and filled the empty river in vain

Exhausted petrified her and the stream her inner self 

bared to rugged contraction with one final squeeze flooded

the truth that she floated on sediment nevertheless

Jannie Breedt Date: 11/23/2016 1:28:00 AM Hi Kai. Phew this is rich. The riddle is still intact but you twist my mind like a wet towel being rinsed in a fantastic way. Btw. Close to us is a farm called two rivers where the Jukskei and Crocodile become one. Thanks for bending my brain Login to Reply Kai Michael Neumann Date: 11/23/2016 7:15:00 AM Thanks Jannie. No crocodiles here, but our local bridge over the same Jukskei was washed away in the floods last week. Many wishes, Kai
