mercury

her temperament is volatile
forever mobile
droplet that rose from the ocean
round and silver and veiled

 

she can never be still
not in time, not in space, not in thoughts distilled
boiling magma steam
fading monsoon smell

 

she will never be still
moving from book to book, song to song,lover to lover

 

She will never be fulfilled
in this life of man
where the river flows, still
