The longest half-life is in parentheses

The murmur of rain in your name,
a cobalt hour breathing it in.

Like the sky, the one you unfold
each morning

a blue for each beat of my heart, each
measured moment of stillness.

I never told you
that I love the periodic table:
halogens & noble gases, post transition metals–
All the unknowns.

And Latin, if it’s sung a capella.

And morning light that cleaves to the shadows,
Like you, my undoing, my undone.

Elemental, poems written to the Periodic table

Elemental, by Julia Klatt Singer, is a set of poems written to the Periodic table. They are poems based on the nature and properties of the elements, and how they become a part of our lives, both lived and imagined. Like the Periodic table itself, they are about relationships, and what is triggered in the nearness of one another. Price includes shipping and handling
