Her Hair

 

Her Hair

 

Her hair

fell, entwined tresses

down the length of her back,

down past her knees.

Morning sunlight found it

and nested there;

I was at a window

entranced.

It was just a moment,

an interval in the journey of clouds;

it was not yesterday,

nor even twenty years ago

Today I stopped to admire patterns

of run-off water on the strand;

the hair of Celtic goddesses

as will be remembered in stone.
