Her curly hair sings!

And it enchants me, it is --


electrostatic.
"The Queen of the Tambourine" (1991, Jane Gardam), § Concerning June 2nd (1990)

I hated it.
Every single time
you called me beautiful,
I hated it.

I get it;
I have blue eyes,
long hair,
a thin body.
Everything you wanted.

But there's so much more to me than that.

I bet you wouldn't have liked me
if I had shorter hair
and a little extra weight.
That's why I realized I don't want a guy
who constantly calls me beautiful.

I want to be called
mesmerizing,
fascinating,
breathtaking.

Those words say much more about the real me
than "beautiful" ever will.

The Human hair holds emotional weight the way one’s heart does.

Understandably so,
you’ve claimed every strand of mine, yours.
Shofi Ahmed May 2023
If only it were
like a strand of your hair,
like a glimpse of you
in your mirror!

Just like a one perfect sway
into the all-encompassing curve
of the ever-smooth, perfect circle
captures the ultimate decimal of pi!

him, stroking through his thin hair?

The Spartan women,

sitting on the salty shore --


are combing their hair.
Novel "The time of the angels" (1966, Iris Murdoch), § 3

the thought of you whispers to me
in my lonesome moments
your stride glides swiftly to me
eyes of earthly-tinged emeralds
fire-soaked whiskers brush upon me
and the slightest rosy sweetness
leaves me yearning for you
all
over
again

I can feel it’s cold embrace.
The wind.
A brush, naturally moving back and forth
And me.
The canvas upon which the wind does its work.
short. sweet. to the point. unlike my life

If only it was
like a hair of you,
like a glimpse of you
in your mirror!
Like the all round one
perfect sway
nets the ultimate decimal of pi!
