Manganese Janet Kuypers from the “Periodic Table of Poetry” series (#025, Mn) (stemming from “Became a Jungle”, written 05/17/10, with references to “Everything Lives With Her”, written 9/2/06) 3/28/13 I wanted plants around. She always had plants around, everything thrived with her. Ever since she died my home has become a jungle. Let me have control over this. Let me add water nearly daily to the plant I bought when I visited her, or to the tree she gave me years ago. Add plant food to the water. Because I don’t want anything to die. Trim the dried leaves, because they would remind me that even nature misses her. Keep plants near windows, they need their light. Their Manganese needs it for their chlorophyll production. Actually, their Manganese assimilates the carbon dioxide in photosynthesis. So breathe in our carbon dioxide and give me more of my precious oxygen, so we can realize how we depend on each other so. Actually, I should stock up on Manganese plant supplements. I’ll make sure you get everything you need. I’ll make sure nothing happens to you.
