The Big Bang Of My Heart Poem by Hela Tekali

''

Existence starts with an explosion of my heart
With hydrogen and helium blowing up from the scar of my art
I am that carved stone that gushes water
The cracked rock with an unchanged matter.

Existence is tied to a mystifying chemistry of love
Two bodies that dissolve into a chemical reaction
Alchemy that splits into magic from above
Oxygen and water turning into a chemical equation.

A field of electrons constitutes my nuclei
Protons and neutrons wobble, whirl, and sway
A puzzling magnetic field my heart is trapped in
A Big Bang, a chemical nomenclature of good and sin.

An explosion of my heart gives birth to my muse
Anions and ions that crash, disperse, and fuse
Chemical compounds drown me in this ingenious periodic table
For the big bang of my heart has become my new label.
