Inscrutable
The river fills her body
like handwriting on a scrap
folded into a book
and found years later.
No one reads that language.
Undiscovered,
she remains closed, cleansed,
awaiting interpretation.

Mysterious … and a bit enticing, a kind of privacy difficult to construct

Sometimes I think I read too much crime fiction. Ha.
