Starfire

boundaries all around
encasing the flame in that sacred 
reaching shape
skin so soft and old and light and bold
six stories where the floor is the ceiling
windows
semi permeable 
membranes coating homes
settled in between time frames
peonies in the wild
protecting hearts so floral 
so botanically moral
silk cotton wool and linen 
slip dresses socks lived
in my dreams it melts and melds 
all together and I'm 
starfire 
held within the form I see 
through the mirror
