theater threaten
the knife grief woman
who led tradition astray
beside adam and eve
silver had its genesis beside
the red apple also biblically
introduced with the downfall of man
slag dumps in Asia Minor
and on islands in the Aegean
indicate man learned to separate things
in this case silver from lead
as early as 3000 B.C.
Acknowledgments: “Silver (Ag)” was published in the anthology A Sing Economy (Flim Forum Press 2008) and in Poe’s poetry collection, Elements (Stockport Flats Press 2010).
