mercury rising

she serves it
raw
not for the timid

she socks it to you
straight
you chase her

you fall
tripping
on the corner of her eye

her fair game
caught up in 
a midnight dragnet

no stories, no way out
no names
just safe words

There was a haunting beauty behind her eyes, beyond her sorrow, a beauty that found its way into one’s heart and led them home.
