From north of nowhere,
to south of somewhere
something pulled you
closer together
here: where noodles doodle
in fashion for passion
on something sentimentally oriental,
and the serving of not-so-warm soup
is like an amusing relief
navigating
cascading through
your dry
throat,
when the inviting drizzle outside
would love to hug
and soak your dreams
amid idea of Monday melancholies.
For a moment, you thought
it might be Newton working
and his law enfolding
yourselves, gathering your souls
toward the center (or corner, perhaps)
of this place they (always) claimed theirs -
earth.
But wait, no.
What’s with the pull,
the poles?
That elemental force?
Your failing iris scanned thoroughly every beaming
click, trick of that sleek camera –
stealing moments of joy and streams of poesy, pose and poise.
Then you realized, when great hands move,
theories demagnetize:
same waves converge as poles attract -
for a celebration proclaiming His true, unselfish love.
