Unbihexium

By Mario Markus

You blossomed
in ancient times
in the burst
of exploding
stars.
Now people are searching
for your ashes on Earth,
in giant halos of mica
and in stones
from the sky.

And there are
also those
who are striving
to see you blossom
among us,
as a tiny star,
with Hafnium
and a beam
of Xenon,
right here
in the lab.
