Elemental

Helium  He, 2

 

A secret. No frost today

on my window, no tumbling stars

no forests of white, no birds

on the branch outside

no chance of one landing now

stealing the morning with their song

as I think about your hands

and how they make me feel

as beautiful as frost

as transparent as glass

as if I’ve swallowed

the sun.

 

 

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
