fighting the elements

friday 8th february 2002 @ 00:47

i am left with a metallic taste and skin that feels too loose for my shrinking soul. you are a mercury hero in casual dress that barely contains you. and as you leak and run with every breath, your silver trail burns and suffocates those left behind. you have become untouchable and unavoidable like all necessary elements. dangerous and unpredictable.

i am cold and wet from a persistant rain and heavy clothes cling to my stiff muscles. with no end in sight i see hot sun bleaching us fair on a white beach and the waves of eternal seas washing us clean and calm. saturation of light over darkness.
