Ouch! Please mommy stop it’s not fair I pulled on her robe as she pulled on my hair Halfway through combing out my long curls mother hurries to get to the other girls Gentle brushes won’t tame unruly locks now grown sentimental first hair cut marks a milestone I never thought I’d cut it off though she’d threat But too many...

As a kid my hair was a very easy fix, just pull it back with a rubber band into a ponytail. As a teen a ponytail was not going to work, off to the hair shop with picture in hand. I sat in the chair and said, I want to look like this picture. I sat dreaming about my great new...

Cut Wide Open
The tearing wasn't neat, no surgeon's precise incision, but a raw, ragged edge, like fabric ripped by a sudden, brutal force. Air, thick and unfamiliar, rushed into spaces once sealed, private. Organs, usually shy and tucked away, now blinked in the harsh light, vulnerable, exposed. Words, once carefully chosen, now spilled out, a crimson tide, unfiltered, screaming truths the polite tongue had always held captive. The inside, a landscape never meant for...

Premium Member A Reflection on That Time I Let My Husband Cut My Hair
He said he’d watched a tutorial. He said symmetry was a myth fueled by Big Geometry. I laughed. That was my first mistake. My second was passing him the scissors without asking him about his dominant hand. (It was vibes. His hand was vibes.) Snip. He called it edgy.

The cut that always bleed
I want them to tell their children about us. Make them afraid of what love can do. Make them sit up at night, wide-eyed, whispering our names like a warning. Say-they clawed at each other's throats, they swallowed their own pride until it rotted inside them, they stayed even when it tore them apart. And in the end, love left...

Premium Member Directors cut Cad Jax Spoken Word Vid Shoot
(Lights dim, a single spotlight illuminates the speaker. A beat drops, subtle and rhythmic.) Cad Jax. Yeah, that name hummed with the city's pulse, a neon flicker in the back alley of your mind/ (A slight snap of the fingers) He was Mr. Flow, man, pure, uncut man on the go/ Had a ride that...
