dark hair streaked with a lisp of dawnlight;
I have seen your shadow creep
through eerie webs spun out of twilight...
And I have longed to kiss...

Why then this sneer on face
And concealed suppressed stress?

Yet it feels so far away

as I slept and dreamt of my gentle lover's hand.
I woke to find my matted, tangled hair.
Among my gray he'd found a light-red strand
and wove while winding hairs...

They’re not allowed to smoke out in the streets

Some gentle people aren’t the ones you meet
To be a one more begging refugee

Of discovering my head has started
Growing through my hair....

but you didn't care,
