Requiem (Free verse) by ChaseValentine
I've chopped off all my East Coast hair
scattering it like hayseed
on tilled ground.
Curls caught in Bay winds
kindle the Arizona brush fires
that paint deserts golden pink.
Whirling tangles
stir up tornadoes from Oklahoma to Ohio,
settling into kinky Texarkana tumbleweeds.
A dizzy Delilah, no Sampson in sight;
I've shorn myself for summer,
soft waves now ebb above my forehead,
so you will have nothing to hold on to
when I run.
