Notes About The Poem

ponytail

I have a god
made in my image
god shows up in the mirror
awful in wrath
slow to forgive
god has a ponytail
and little patience.

I was SO proud of my ponytail. That, earrings, and a little gloss and mascara gave an unmistakable 'woman' signal, Stevie Wonder could see it from down the street. I still have barrettes and combs somewhere from when I was in the bloom of youth. Anais, remember and enjoy your youth, every single second of it. ❤️
