Mercury - She Keeps Bees

Tossed into my own arms now and dragged off to sleep

and we wonder how long then

will she circle the same tree?

every time my heart comes back picks me up like mercury

I forget to wear shoes with tread

lessons that slip into the sea

nothing left of me to stitch I’m scattered all about the floor

tossed into my own arms now and dragged off to sleep

like mercury

changed the house now a new shade of red

changed the curtains and the bed

sit and count my one two threes

I can’t wait till we can be like mercury
