I look at you and I see your skin
is the colour of snow
and I look at me
beside you
and I see my skin
is the colour of sand
and I see you
beside me
and me beside you
snow and sand
sand and snow
both temperatures on the extreme ends of a Fahrenheit
But the air I vent is hot
and the air you vent is cold
I rise
and
you descend
and we come together
somewhere
midair
otherworldly
my atoms fill the spaces between yours
and your atoms fill the spaces between mine
our particles
interweave
and
intertwine
we solidify and
together
softly
we come to rest
