her eyes
crossed the
river before mine, you must
follow the waves
she said
an eel
swam past
its oily body wrapped
round the skin
of my ankle
the river
is deeper here
she said, follow the current
let the waves
pull back

"her eyes crossed the river before mine" is quite unique I think. I haven't come across it before.
