Poetry | October 2012

XXIX

By Donna Vorreyer

Twenty-nine is the tenth prime number,
a Lucas prime, a Pell prime, a tetranacci.

A Pillai prime, an Eisenstein prime with no
imaginary part, the sixth Sophie Germain.

A Markov number, a Perrin number, aliquot
sum of odd discrete primes. Atomic number

of copper. Approximate days in a lunar month.
Number of years for Saturn to orbit the sun.

Alphabet letters in Turkish, Finnish, Faroese,
Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian. Highest

possible score in cribbage. Highest possible
hand in Khanhoo. The number of suras

in the Qur’an that begin with muqatta’at.
The age my womb was declared condemned.
