below the waterfall
her tresses a waterfall
over her bodice

long locks
not plaited, nor braided —
she struggles through the summer storm
–
Breakers ahead!
Her waved hair cooling down
one’s own heart
beneath long lashes
her words lash out …
in anger
–
flash flood
the river carves a new path
to the waterfall
fullbodied warming, sunrise
woman unraveling
before my eyes
