Copper (1)

Copper

Before air touches me I am the purest pink,

malleable like a well worked muscle,

strong to the bone.

Blue blooded through and through with my first breath,

I become the finest crystalline grain.

I become electric.

I can catch the lightning and slam it underground.

I’ll reflect your brassy beauty in lustrous mirrors,

bronze your best memories for the saving.

And like all memories I will fade and tarnish,

turn to the shade of dying embers.

Yet I will always be there,

you’ll wear me like gold when you’re passionate

and together we will create fire.
