north end

do you feel the heat the city emits
you feel new in town still
but it seems everywhere we go
you run into a familiar face

it might feel new
but you fit in
like an old soul
reliving the century

you cast out emotions
over sunsets and rises
the emerge from the lake
to tumble across the escarpments

your house in the north
with industry close
but the community closer
to indulge upon

will the long summer nights
repeat themselves
into the fall weather
with ringing ears

does the winter nip at you
to come outside and embrace
a town you love
that you’ve known
for so little
