Poetry About Marie Curie

In pitchblende dark on the laboratory bench, Marie Curie finds a visible shape. Glassware glowing in a dim room carries what ordinary speech leaves unfinished. Between notebooks carrying invisible danger and a mobile X-ray unit near the front, the heart learns to listen. Discovery can shine while demanding a cost its discoverer cannot yet see, though the day rarely says so aloud. By night, two Nobel medals under museum light becomes a promise rather than an ending.

Glassware glowing in a dim room enters the poem first. Marie Curie follows, neither symbol nor explanation, but weather. A mobile X-ray unit near the front keeps the difficult measure. We stand near pitchblende dark on the laboratory bench and let certainty loosen. Discovery can shine while demanding a cost its discoverer cannot yet see. Two Nobel medals under museum light remains after the room grows quiet.

Someone remembers notebooks carrying invisible danger. Someone else names pitchblende dark on the laboratory bench and means an entire life. Marie Curie moves between them with patient hands. Glassware glowing in a dim room refuses to become only background. Discovery can shine while demanding a cost its discoverer cannot yet see. At last, two Nobel medals under museum light gives the silence somewhere to rest.
