tis raining -

raining,
inside and out

 

how sad
to be with the falling of hair

no
matter how much I thought I prepared

I feel
sad as I feel it slide through my fingers

to fall
into the shower,

I pick
up the clump from the drain -

pubic
hair, too -

I knew
and still it feels so hard to absorb

this
softness leaving my body

my body
softening inside out

and
outside in

to
absorb even more

of the
love

that
surrounds me now -
