My hair is feeling good today Moves about my fingers with a sound like rain Soft like a sigh, they let me breathe The strands hold no effort, only shine I bow my head and it slinks to the table Laughs with a swoosh And slides on the slab Quivers with itself
They are arms, extensions Of my mind I turn my head and they ready themselves Pirouetting, gracefully prepared It falls and hushes across my shoulders Reptillious and curious, self-entertained
Each movemnt is an earthquake An electric shock that pulses and jumps Coiled up length that frames me so Sit in a new way that I don't know.
