lamps yin and yang
I celebrate your
perfect balancing!
dark and light
you shine
from faux bronze
fluted stand(s)
you do not
so much
vacillate
as do a
duo/solo
mojo
you manage your
blaze and shade
concurrently
—you palpitate
from colluding
upsidedown
bell-like shades
you radiate
your lifelong
itch and scratch
good and bad
comforting, troubling
is halted only by a
fatal switch
at end of lifelight’s
juggling
