If Flame had a Face

 

If flame

had a face,
it wouldn’t
be yours –
and yet

its contours

might suggest
a blest breath
of what
you radiate.

You’d both

have some blue
in you, true –
and a similar
bait

in the blinding

white light
that you'd
share at
the core.

But it would

have less
of what you
possess
more.
