LOVE AFTER MIDNIGHT
She had been searching
the origins of quicksilver,
wanted to know
the source of vermilion.
It was only a small itch
on the back of her neck;
she needed deft fingers
to scratch it away.
The digits that probed
didn't stop at her back
but sought out pores
along the whole of her skin.
In the midst of her climax
she forgot about Mercury,
relaxed before sleeping
having drunk a full cup.
