The fig tree is without leaves
mercury down to sub-zero
as the heavens paint the earth white.
Silver painted girl
Gleams like nature's element

Freddy Mercury
Wanted to live forever
Knowing he must die.
His voice, his music
Is still alive forever
Even though he died.
He was a hot shot
Who wore hot pants
Which got him into the hot seat
Because this was the sixties
Before Freddy Mercury made it okay.
Pop, crackle and snap
Pop goes the popcorn
Crackle goes the fire
Snap goes the mercury
~ Winter's gunfire
Puppets
All Associates of
the National Puppet (walking puppets only) of
Wales leak and
alloy of
mercury with
iron down
crooked paths.
The star lines of Mercury were always there,
But before you arrived I was unaware,
Until you showed me... what was where,
Then at my hand, I did stare….
'Tis said that Mercury is in retrograde.
Is it just an astrophysical charade —
An illusory cosmic joke being played?
Is the wee beggar's energy bill unpaid?
lambast us baby!
strut your bombastic vocals!
forever..... your stage
-tribute to Freddie Mercury.....from stage-left, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1977
I sailed by Mercury, Venus and Mars
Past Neptune, Pluto and assorted stars
The virus everywhere
It's just too much to bear
I still can't find one single open bar
Mercury in Retrograde
The stars play
troublesome pranks.
Send us back where we began
back again.
We crash we wake
and seethe,
like the pull from the moon
at night
on sand.
Malignant, an echo of
calamity
penetrates the aura
of American freedom
as humanity
asphyxiates
an arsenal
of political fascism
shape shifting
into beads
branded by mercury
abomination
Farrokh Bulsara a.k.a. Freddie Mercury
British singer, songwriter known universally
Confirmed he had AIDS and then died the next day
His music through Queen still rocks us all the way
Industrial love
It's the virtue and vice
and the silver cut ice
on a river of mercury neurons
Memory made
It's the liquid mistake
of impossible break
on a spiraling psyche for aeons.
THAT OLD CHROME MERCURY
HOT
FETID
DREAM
ALL METALLIC
LIKE THE COOLER PLANETS
MUST BE
ALL SOOTHING HELL
SUFFUSED WITH SIN
AND THEN GO
RINGS
AROUND THE MOON
As the mercury starts to levitate,
and May hunts down chill residues,
warmed breezes rummage the ground
for ten sun-worshippers
cruising in two dusty,
floppy convertibles.
Awareness is believing in the heart
That cherishes all and the wisdom
We gain though our strength
In desperate times we measure
Our mercury for others
Is the gift we Neil

Violent – haiku
mercury rise, well
sun turns in horror, deadly
down the hole goes youth
Peace -haiku
tranquility sleeps
leaf spins gently on the brook
a breath of air, calms

Peace -haiku
tranquility sleeps
leaf spins gently on the brook
a breath of air, calms
The land is barren
Oh mercury is falling
Jack has made it back
A's B/to Mercury/the sun
For me/your metallic/radium stun
Permeating pupils/my forever rising moon
Nightlight/keeping my suppositions alive
The chemical/cooling my mind
Boiling inside/my pining/my spine
Mercury nights unrelieved
betrayal passionately suggests
Our future- parallel in jest
From jumping many potholes
Freewheeling college enterprises
Found my candle beside a manhole
Your tongue is dirty like fame
Jupiter, your fallen house,
A strife, and unto me,
A deal that mirrors that of Faust
When Hell’s my home to be?
Mercury, you orbit close
Gemini, the Twins, am I
Side by side, am juxtaposed-
To Pluto’s ruling Sign
Like syrup
in a bottle neck
sticky
and slipping slowly along the side
This sorrow is
like the thick
silvery sludge in the thermometer
sliding to the boiling point
breaking through the glass in a poisonous burst
immense
on the surface,
massive
in depth
yet
if overblown..
malevolent:
a tortuous
reflex..
..allusive
as mercury
to grasp:
a threat
perhaps
if
assembled
and paraded
sans
modesty
