He burned me twice.

Once:
with his harsh wintery breath
against the soft skin of my face
as if to scream the words
of some lover's quarrel.

Twice:
with the gentle touches of springtime
against the sensitive skin of my spine
as if to comfort me into waking once more
into a world much warmer than before.
