Magnesium Burn

Janet Kuypers
7/28/19, #PeriodicPoetry @cenmag,
on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr;
3rd place winner of the C&EN (Chemical and Engineering News magazine) Periodic Poetry contest in 2019
announced and listed in their September 2, 2019 issue article “#PeriodicPoetry contest winners announced

When your fire starts
 you’re impossible to stop,
 burning brilliant white,
 even underwater

Seeing your fireworks,
 snapping my flashbulb photos—
 I feel that your intensity
 is also a part of me.

You
make my heart

beat.
