You Are A Flame On My Chest

You are my reddest blue—
Autumn trees that look like ripe mangos
The sleepy sun air kissing
the blushing clouds good morning
Every bodily insecurity I learned to love
A rope of stars, Orion’s Belt
the only constellation I can identify
My favourite childhood story
molded into a muscular body
—You are a flame on my chest
