Mercurial Waters
By Hannah Mae Webster
Bathing in gold and laden with truths,
the lullaby of lies has fallen out of tune.
A lament for the lost; the mercurial minds,
sinks beneath oil as prayer starts to rise.
Failing through levels of midnight water,
a sunken ship settles its fate with no author.
A star-crossed voyage ending in the mud,
now a treasure-filled artefact in the museum of good.
