We’re opposites attracting
with much distance between us
and so many things to misunderstand
when you’re hot, I’m cold
when you’re awake, I’m asleep
when you’re quiet, I must speak
Yet, we know what lies between us
is fire and heat and flame
so we grab our shovels and dig
through all the muck
through all the debris of our lives
until we’re reunited again
An antipode is a point on Earth that is diametrically opposite to another. Antipodes are on opposite sides of the earth. You can work out if your city has an anthropoidal city here: https://www.antipodesmap.com.
I’m not an ‘opposite-attracting’ type of woman (is this even a thing?), but I do understand the allure.

Opposites can end up complementing each other. Beautifully written, Bree.
I went to the link to see if my city has an antipode location – turns out it’s nothing but water! 😅😂

Bahahaha, Shweta I love that you went to the map. Mine is also water 😂
Yes, I understand what you mean about complementing each other – perhaps you are right there!

Haha. Looks like there are very few who actually have an antipode location that’s not under water!

I used the map and my other half is swimming in the ocean. Maybe he is a mermaid?!?

I’m not sure if opposites attract either. But yeah, like you, I get the concept. I think you have to have a lot of things in common when in a relationship, but hey, that’s just my opinion. Really nice poem.
