Who is This Quicksilver? 1941-2012

Hot spur Lady,
harum-scarum,
gadarene
red-haired scream?

Impulse Child,
heaving waves,
impulsiveness
undressed?

Hurried Teen,
reckless, rash,
pell-mells through
whimsy’s spells?

Impetuous Grandma,
brash, brazen,
flashy bold
for one so old?

Truth be told: immediate!
A streak of light,
a quiver of silver:
This is our unique Quicksilver!

Who is This Quicksilver?

who creates
mercurial poem- paintings which
effervesce like rainbow bubbles
freshly blown?

Each pops,
and leaves its scent upon the nose – invisible-
yet haunting.

We lift the veil
and find the sweet essence
clinging to our skin.

We have been touched with the silver of her grace-
quickly
quickly turned to silver.
