Sulfur, Suddenly

Janet Kuypers
7/31/19, #PeriodicPoetry @cenmag,
on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr

Stepping through the 9/11 wreckage
I breathed, suddenly, Sulfur

in the papers, the fuel
the people, in the fire

the drywall disintegrated
supplying more Sulfur
and I...
I couldn’t stop coughing
and had to catch my breath
