Nickel the
            Demon

Janet Kuypers
8/3/19
on Facebook and Twitter

In the Ore Mountains
miners searched for copper
and found a reddish substance
we call Nickel arsenide.
They thought they found
copper, but couldn’t
extract it form the ore,
calling it Kupfernickel.
Kupfer is copper.
Nickel is demon—
& the demon
was only extracted
a century later.
