Intimacy of Your Hair

There is something

So intimate

That deals with the

Top of your head

Well

Not the exact top

But that spot

Right there

Beneath that thick

Blanket of hair

And my fingers

They can comb through your hair

All day

And you could be

Content

Like a kitten

Purring

But when I find it

And I always know where

I curl my fingers

Deep into your dark tresses

You stop

No longer content

But that glutteral

Deep noise

You make

When I dig deep

Scraping my fingertips

Across scalp

Pulling hair

Slowly

Massaging

Pulling up

Muscles tensing

Your body

Rigid and tense

As a surprising shiver

Runs down your spine

Goosebumps

On your skin

And then just as suddenly

It stops

And the need grows

I see it

Your eyes

Your soul

The want

The need

For my fingers in your hair
