At Some Frontier Valentine

My warm hand grasps my cold hand
The greeting of my separate halves
Who stand and stare at one another
Best of strangers best of friends
Like two diplomats conjoined
Across a barbed-wire fence
Wondering if this rain will pass
Chatting about their children
One estranged one a dancer
Each sees the other in himself
But what brave cities sent them out
To cobble yet another peace
A weak heart on the one side
And a broken liver on the other
