(Black Girl’s Hair Channel)
I’m fascinated
In awe, mouth slack, eyes wide, fixed
At the things they do
No longer do I want
Golden, flaxen straighten locks
Me? Kinky! Curly!
Two strand twist crown me
A laurel wreath of honour
A new exemplar
I want lots of curls
Small, yet strong, to move with ease
Thin, to frame my face
But no chemicals!
And no products except oil
Olive and flax seed
Wonderful new world
Black women with their hair like mine
Except for the gray
Wait! I love my gray
But it’s oh so difficult
Straying every way
Right now I yield to
Snoods, headbands, combs and scrunchies
And lots of pomade
