(baldspot)

Woman with a
bald spot.
My god,
there is no end
to the things
we need fear.
Although I’m
certain I could
relingquish
this one.
My full head
of hair, which
stylists curse
for its thickness
– but the weight
of the possibility,
settles down
on me, as they
all seem to.
I want to shake
it off
as I snap my
head
& touch
my hair
feeling priase
for my new
shampoo.
