Lawrencium
Janet Kuypers
from the “Periodic Table of Poetry” series (#103, Lr)
(with references to the poem “Spent”)
11/17/13
I’ve always tried to figure you out.
I could never pinpoint your true destiny.
All I know
is that your radio
activity to me
left my bones so brittle.
I know your heart is a hand grenade.
You’ve made my skin so paper thin.
You’re corroded me
until my lips
are forever shut.

Lawrencium
