To Anticipate the Coming Valley of Mercury

That blinding dawn
anticipating the scent
of the signal sent
shining twins
glistening
entering again
some paradise
in between
fusing the ash
rushing off the dust
burning.

Dusk moon rising
leaving the follower behind
again reflecting
inspiring
filling her emptiness
with the self already complete
quicksilver replete
as always half a body does
all these actors do.

Forbidden worship
passion scorned
this sweat drips for her more
hidden spirals
dancing in efficient golden salinity
ready to repeat over
and over
and be a fraction of the desire before
a seed
absorbed
blinding the arrows of a lethal dawn
with Lucifer conjoins
so hot going in
opposite directions.
