Hi digna_sofia,
Good to see you posting. Your work is crisp and though it started a little slow for me, after reading the entire poem I think that slow is a great speed
It feels just right and may have even taught me a thing or two about setting an appropriate pace. I am fairly new to poetry and this is in serious critique, but I will still try to give you my impressions.
I wish I could write something like this. Thanks so much for sharing.

Good ones
bitter-salt ones that map the planes of our faces --this is the line that made me start all the way back over over. A very good attention grabber. And sets up the rest nicely imo
As we press them together
connecting roads and rivers
unfolding the landscape of us --again, nothing but praise here. These little direction changes or really more like splits because each layer works for me.
suspended in a paper-thin moment
Crumpled or folded
smelling of damp and dust -- damp and dust? I normally think of those as being mutually exclusive
Promising horizons
and nothing more
and nothing less -- a solid closer, imo.
