The Chemist

The Chemist

She's most beautiful when labcoat attired
With her professional face applied,
Enraptured in the complex weave of chemical -
The penetration of blue and gold,
The only movement of molecules.
And when she lies bereaved
A different skin adorns her,
And in the nakedness of night,
Damp cheeks and broken child,
What can I do but cry
And lay my fragments down with her.
And the simple hydrocarbon dances,
And the nitrates and the acid green precipitates
