Who is This Quicksilver?
who creates
mercurial poem- paintings which
effervesce like rainbow bubbles
freshly blown?
Each pops,
and leaves its scent upon the nose – invisible-
yet haunting.
We lift the veil
and find the sweet essence
clinging to our skin.
We have been touched with the silver of her grace-
quickly
quickly turned to silver.
