Two Friends braiding their hair, two lovers making love, to fall and know I’ll be held by the strength of every strand of hair, but not suffocated or restricted in movement. I want the memories held in these graying hairs to remind me of beautiful times and even tough days. I want to feel warmth, but not heat; I want to feel protected and part of something bigger than me, like a snake in a snake pit.
