In- Mercury

slow eruption

By Michele NampalliPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

The air balmy

another nondescript Monday in La La Tennessee

flicking through vinyl at a dusty

record house

mid flip-

my fingertips walk across a CD

wait, posed in static

***

spring insects woke across my skin

***

stirring the air

with friction

I ran my hands down my arms

breasts

hips

tamping down this slow

eruption

***

Goodbye. before

my eyes run into the interior-

semi-conducting

my lips curl

***

you're quicksilver

About the Creator

Michele Nampalli

This space is breath for my sensitivity. The poems come fully formed. I've known for quite some time now that my art is about receiving more than creation...its the most natural way I know to process my inner world. It started when I was 7.
