ANEW : vanity recedes

Sent: 2/16/2005 9:28 PM


it would be fasting
to give up my hair
to shave it off
to let it go
for i love hair
brushing softly
then hard
scratching
pulling strands
untangling knots
running through
with fingertips
eyes closed
grabbing
at the scalp
with my sigh
because i want hair
to catch its fall
to net a trapeze
to keep its number
it should be lasting
