He didn't look at the surface of the black water.
The black water of the pool was at their feet.
Her hair fell long and straight like a fall of black water.
It was held close to the surface of the black water, well out in the river.
I looked into the black water again, trying to spot the bottom.
Eyes like black water stared at a point far beyond him.
I saw it falling down very far, toward the black water.
Beyond the river, with its black and ugly water, was built a city.
Up to his chest was a plane of black water.
The black water seemed to leap up to meet her.
