My Yin Yang Kin
/From my first book, Death of the Suburb about my two children
————
My yin yang kin
Two peas in opposite pods
The fighter and the flow-er
Born of the same love
Just a few years apart
Cliffs at the coast
One raised high and immovable, steadfast and strong
One flowing in and out, with hidden depths and full of wonder
A Viking and a Jew
The Viking, fair and fresh
Storming in and forcing his will on you
The Jew, dark and joking
Trying to fit in and keeping everyone amused
The children a metaphor for their parents
Without one there wouldn't be the other
Here to teach us all to get along
And combine to make a new breed
