You + Me

twins: me

down by the docks in Galway Town
(shivering along, the snow whorling down)
i take off my clothes
and stand naked in exaltation;
the flakes cling to my warmth,
they melt in loving appreciation
and i am reborn untethered,
a helium balloon, atlantic weathered.

twins: you

down by the docks in Frisco Town
(shivering along, the sun sluicing down)
i take off your clothes
and stare with naked admiration;
the rays trace out your form,
they freeze its perfect delineation
and you are reborn untethered,
a helium balloon, pacific weathered.
