north
&
north

we pull
each other
in,
always a little
more
towards
each
other

yet just when we feel -

we've come
too close
we

push
each
other

away

to circle around

the inevitable,

the lofty,

all things up there -

mighty

and dancing

right above our heads,

making us
a little
less

possible

with each

turn

and
twirl

and
the steps

forward
and
back

we just can't seem
to take
altogether

now,

north
to
north.
