Sunday Mornings
Sausage curls cascade
from crown
to shoulders.
Shiny black bouquet
Springy as a nest of Slinkys
A testament to the patience
A bow to the wills
of Black mamas bound for church.
Today’s prompt was "Spiral." Between a recent video I saw, and
a line I used in a short memoir piece, this poem emerged.
