Hair Ties That Bind
Love, Elasticity, and Entanglement
You’re a ponytail
The way I imagine you in my hair,
Tugging gently,
Reminding me
Of your eternal mark
On my mind.
Everlasting light,
Just out of sight.
The year-round tan line
Firmly wrapped around my wrist.
Relentlessly burned into creation
Day after day.
A clue that this body adventured,
Was adventured.
The indescribable relief of a cool breeze,
Hair sensuously sweeping across my neck.
Goosebumps I wish to bottle,
Most noticeable in your absence.
The uncomfortable elastic band,
That wears out over time.
Something I could never find
When I needed it most
So I cut my hair short.
