In Poems

Sophia Durham

Stumbled upon,
an accidental discovery to ameliorate society.
Misbehaving.
Strike for sparks.
Dense and grey
(an asteroid in space…?),
to a shower of light.
Perhaps a goddess?

A honeycomb architecture
to sweeten the sourest taste
of veils of soot
that encompass our harrowing future
of a polluted Earth.

Cerium;
an unsung hero.
Maybe we should stumble upon another happy little accident?

About the Author

I’m Sophia and I’m a final year Master’s student in Chemistry, specialising in Organic Synthesis. I enjoy everything artsy, I’m obsessed with dogs, and I love to be adventurous with my cooking as I’m equally obsessed with food.
