Silica Gel

[RiverNotch]

The package proclaims
“Winter Harvest,” evoking notions
of pristine snow, white
as the poisonous silica gel
like blanched roe
hidden underneath seaweed sheets
that are fragile as stained glass. 

A red exclamation mark
and a dying child with mouth agape
warns in Korean, Japanese,
English, Chinese: Poison! Danger!
So, don't call it health food "So" is unneeded....
when you bring death
so close to my lips. ....especially with the "so" here making it read kinda redundant. Maybe put an em dash after the exclamation point on "Danger!", or just on the start of the line, to more subtly show that continuity.

Two notes. First, some pedantry: as far as I know, silica gel on its own isn't poisonous, and the reason manufacturers put the warning is because the packet as filled with the gel is a choking hazard. However, there are some varieties of silica gel desiccant that are mixed with other, truly poisonous substances -- I'm just not sure if that's the variant they'd use for food. 

Second, the first stanza is one great clustertruck of metaphor: "evoking notions of pristine snow (1), white as the poisonous silica gel (2) like blanched roe hidden underneath seaweed sheets (3) that are fragile as stained glass (4)". Four metaphors in one sentence, a metaphor describing a part of a metaphor describing a metaphor describing the package. Unload, unload: the thoughts and images are there (and, as I implied, I don't really mind the possible factual error -- it's not exactly a President's sewer of lies), but they're really badly organized, especially for such a succinct piece.
