Astrolaire

I walked in the garden
under planets and streetlights
	between streetlight and 
		 
	flower strung 
			between elements 
between the streets converging

a rose does not know 
	it is a rose
			
the city 
does not know it is a rose
	
	the city opened 

I unfolded myself
through lines of symmetry
		 
			the  hidden
asterion star flower
punctured the dark
			life of

its root skeins stretched over sky
	as satellites bloomed around
			the world
