Judith's Hair

She cut her hair
and life fell to the ground
Swept up by Monica,
I think her name is.

She died it brown
then let it linger
Reminding her of
Nature's quarters.

She grew it long
and savoured the wind
Tiny threads of motion
and, maybe, dirt.

She tied it up
sick of her wet neck
Perspiration tantamount
to breath and/or life.
