The mood shifted,
Scudding and persistent,
And she knew that no matter the allure
To try and reach out
To touch it
In attempt to stop
It’s flow,
To do so would only
Poison them with
Mercurial glow.

Thank you, Rochelle! 🙂
Mercurial people can be a tad complicated, often interesting, sometimes difficult.
I’ll hope over to your link now — curious to see where you took this!
