Spell by Marie Digby

style

when i wear
my hair
like this i think of you,
how it
accidentally happened

that we fell
in love

because i was tired.
i pushed

it behind my ear,
where all hair

belongs.
i berated the nuisance wispies
with a braid.

i stuck them in a place
for myself.

you saw me sleeping.
you said
it was perfect.

every time
my hair
is slightly mussed, i will

think about you and me,
and how
we mussed up our
own     perfection

with too much lying down.
