Mercury
An Angel Having Recently Visited You
Sent back Metal Film
of Your Ancient shores
Cratered silver with loneliness
the Humming of Silver Tides
Or discs bent longingly
With long lonely empty looks
Disc crater eyes alloyed obsidian
Looking back at the messenger
With cold memory
Of the abandonment
Which bore their emptiness
In the insane heat of the void
And now leering livid
Yet recent in disdain the merging antiphony
Like arcadia from the ashes
For and through the endless night
And disenchanted contempt
Which bares no life
Except the whisper of Loneliness
