Life : Sins of Bone and Mercury

These words are dangerous ,
encapsulated in shells of iron will ,
rusting under brining tears

These words are dangerous,
most walk by eyes cast down ,
a threat to flesh and civility

These words are dangerous,
that which is cried can’t be undone,
no father absolving your fears

These words are dangerous,
yet here we are 4 lines down
& you are mixing bone & mercury
