Tellurium
    so High
in the Sky

Janet Kuypers
10/27/19, for Tellurium (#52, Te)
on Facebook and Twitter

Electricity’s in the air
seeping from those Tellurium-coated wires
so far apart, so high in the sky

protect us feeble humans
from electricity rushing together in attraction
then violently rushing apart

You spare us anguish
of conductivity, pushing apart
in that high-charge game
