Dear sister,
from a brother:
I like your hair …
how it grows from your crown,
connecting to your roots.
I like your hair…
how it stretches wide,
pushing beyond boundaries laid.
I like your hair…
how it morphs freely,
founding your range of expressions.
I like your hair…
how it’s yours…
to do with as you please;
to expand as big as you’d like;
to shrink down to your scalp;
to color the rainbow bright;
to tell your story with passion;
to embrace despite cruel standards;
to maintain with care;
to like by default;
to hate on bad days;
to appreciate for what it is;
to love regardless;
I love your hair.
It’s good from here
to the motherland
and everywhere.
