"North and South: The Polarities of My Life"
A funny thing happens
when you fall away
from the center of your life
and the daylight in those eyes
are no longer
your late night
night light,
that smile
no longer breathes
affection
in your mind,
and that way has
turned
into another --
has spread into light
for
another.
A funny thing happens when you
walk away from,
and move towards,
the extremes you've left behind.
(I just wrote this not so very good piece of crap in like 2 minutes, so I shouldn't even post it, but here it is.)
