Braids

She's atoms and flesh

Just skin, bones, organs

Nothing more, nothing less


I try to convince myself that's all she is

Why can't I get her face out of my head

Doltish as I am, I forget to ask for her name

Her (room) number

Anything I can get to stay in proximity with this girl

This girl who's more than atoms and flesh

Brown skin, thick boned

(If she'd let me, I'd tune her organs)

"Girl with the braids" fits for now

They bounce in tandem with her steps as she

Makes her way to the waves of the sea
