Father's Image

My dense brow, cursed hairs

dark with your DNA.

 

I sit, stare, dare not pluck

a single follicle.

 

I see the blatant looks;

they don’t ask, but I know

 

secretly they wonder

why the girl with wild brows

 

would keep them. But you know,

wherever you may be.

 

You’ll see my sacrifice:

fashion for loyalty,

 

looks for love.
