Water

Water.
Like water it was
trickling down her arms
what happened?
when the hand reached for the shine
silver on the desk
it whispered
a slippery ring
cold in her palm
irresistable
she raised the hand
dropped it
with a slash
throwing it away
it welled in his mouth
made him gurgle
hot liquid pennies
dribbling from his mouth
burning in his nose
coating his pale lips
she raised her arms
letting it trickle
trickle down her arms
like water it was
Water.
