Mercury Rising
(for doreen)

i am totally fascinated by you still
i look at you like a drop
of mercury in my hand
i am enthralled.

be my liquid metal.
i will mash you with my finger
and you will become several,
each discreet and perfect
for my desires,
quicksilver round and heavy
with such definition
running chasing gravity

if steel was wet
mad as a hatter on
your shining poison,
you rise in my barometer
and expand with my temperature

i will never be able
to keep you
in my palm
