Jim Tidd Poet Rhyme

Strand

Found a strand of long black hair
wondered how it had gotten there,
caught in a blanket on the bed
as if it were itself a thread.
Pulled it out and wrapped it tight
around my finger, for the night.

I saw your note below and can only wonder about the misery this whole situation has caused. I am really sorry, my friend. Jim Tidd July 8, 2014 at 4:23 PM Not as sad now, of course, but it was hard then.
