Hair stuff Poems

This thing that is our family

This thing that is our family
It’s alive like a monster
Only comes out at night
It is selfish
And sucks your blood
It is little bodies that become you
It is your mother’s turkey soup
And walks along the dike
It is strength i have never known before
Ingenious in its creativity and resource
