The Coming Sin

Like a Lunatic 

she comes early.

Just like Venus
she lags behind.

Now they both wax
opposites siding the sun.

Quicksilver turns and dives in the mix
to join the fishing party
the first day of Mother's morning
to harvest the shrimps on the Barbie.

The boat's on the Eucalyptus
so regular like a little kitten
cute as a koala
excited about the maelstrom's past
the scythe and sickle so subtle a difference
silly and hovering on the border down under
wanting to stay
covering the mirror
wanting more next time around.

So the vacation begins
finally hidden again
slowly falling to try to match Mercury.

Come Quickly!
