My Black Hair Isnt Love Enough

soft
raven
jet 'BLACK'

short
puffy
afro 'BLACK'

thick
matted
tangled hair

unstyled
unkempt
headscarf
seals my 'BLACK'

thick
course
wavy
nappy headed grave


coil
curl
twist
my fingertips 
pleasant sore
my 'BLACK' hair scorn


rapunzel hair weave
creamy crack relaxer
black hair hatred
hair expresses rotten 


yet and still what is to love 'BLACK' hair
