Cobalt Goblins

Janet Kuypers
8/3/19
on Facebook and Twitter

Miners in German mountains
melted rock to extract metal
but were poisoned with fumes
which they blamed on kobolds—
underground sprites.

The vapors were arsenic,
but cobalt, now named
for German goblins,
came from here—
and the ghoulish name stuck.
