Poems
Dec 2015
there you are
one long difficult
brow hair
sticking out
with a slight whirl toward the end
bending its once linear course
i pull at it
whiff on the first three tries
but get it on the fourth
one smear of red
marks the deed
holding it between thumb and forefinger
i observe its root
pale translucent box-like tag
bags layers of me
the shaft of hair itself
wears three layers
its cuticle tells species
the cortex tells the sort of hair
and the medulla tells ethnicity
but the follicular tag
brags of my very own me
that i cannot see
ladder of unusual protein
pirouettes
and scene
