How he loved her mercury eyes.
Once he'd seen their colour as shotgun-grey,
a solid promise of death in every blink.
Liquid silver,
now they only promised she'd be his
forever.
Spider eyelashes settle on the sand
dunes of her cheeks.
His fingers find them and they flutter,
now birds.
Reveals silver again like spring water
that might spill from the pool of her eye.
Those pools magnify to oceans as he
leans in to taste again from the scarlet mouth.
She slips away as he lies there
afterwards.
Now he's scarlet
and her eyes are shotgun-grey.
