Mercury’s volcanic,
            icy re-release

Janet Kuypers
9/27/21 Twitter-length Periodic Table
poem for element #80, Mercury (Hg)

on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr

ancient purities in glacial meltwater
now released after millennia
with no industry, pollution

stuns us
when annual samples studied
match massive masses of Mercury

Mercury’s from volcanoes, pollution
so stopping coal mining’s not enough
Mercury in earth’s past can poison us too
