different climates

her weather was different

than mine.

two distinct climates.

one warm,

with white sand,

and blue seas,

the other cold,

the landscape covered

in ice, snow

up to our knees.

i needed a shovel,

some salt and an ice pick

to get close to her.

but with me

all she had to do

was open a window,

throw back her arms,

and breathe.
