Any chair will do

Delicate, I close my eyes

I dare that your scissors snip

With a care that I can see

From the calm of my kindness


Of all the pleasure that you take

I give profoundly, not wanting

Other than for the curls to

Return, soft as next year’s spring


This, that you hold tender

Between thumb and forefinger

With an enquiring touch

Suggestive of wanting


My eyes opened behind me

And slowly I give my all to you
