Strands of hair slither out like butter as the comb went through tentatively in the rough patch The woman’s crown weathered by years Her fingers grasp at the fragile threads dyed over and over again Treatments promised to revive. late-night scrolls deep masks brushed over the woman’s petals fade Autumn’s trophy lost identity through the emptiness in the morning staring in the golden mirror The pillow looks back guiltily delicate strands uplift her smile the light within shines outwardly like the moon just before dawn

Fading Petals
Strands of hair slither out like butter as the comb went through tentatively in the rough patch The woman’s crown weathered by years Her fingers grasp at the fragile threads dyed over and over again Treatments promised to revive. late-night scrolls deep masks brushed over the woman’s petals fade Autumn’s trophy lost identity through the emptiness in the morning staring in the golden mirror The pillow looks back guiltily delicate strands uplift her smile the light within shines outwardly like the moon just before dawn
