Hair Like Shoes

hair like shoes defines a woman
there is something so primeval
as if the sun conspiring creates
in cohorts of stranded shafts
that unravel to the flesh-line

blonde brunette, raven, and red
every follicle a flame to passion
brushed aside manipulating
colouring the mind of man

and like shoes her flowing tresses
sway suggestive of the way ahead
