Sheath

Comparing the size

of our hands,

fingers and fronts aligned,

printed and palmed,

nervous and calmed,

convexes filling hollows,

concaves where fallow;

my chilly tips

pressed 'gainst your

warm mitts,

the roughened edges 

only just familiar.  

Where the 

Ends extend,

bend;

mismatched pairs

wrap and fold,

Properly.
