transparent cream and beige -
once protection, the horn comb
hoists my hair skyward
Once you have long hair, the hunger for hair toys/accessories begins. Some new toys arrived from Vietnam via Etsy. So not plastic!

Victory Rolls - Haiku du jour
they cannot be small,
my victory rolls, my hair
demands opulence.
I dabble in retro looks, mostly to avoid falling into lazy hairstyle habits (the eternal frumpy ponytail, for example). My thick hair looks dreadful when I try small rolls, but suddenly turns cooperative when I twirl a large barrel. I look very Andrews Sister-ly tonight.

Blah - Haiku du jour
seeking elegance
and delicate images -
no luck, i'm just blah.
This is what happens when inspiration deserts me, even on a Friday.

Haiku du jour - Lilies speak
when a lily speaks,
sharp clove and soft vanilla
theads through the sweetness.

Haiku du Jour - Steamy Sunday
A steamy Sunday -
I want coolness; in winter
I will wish for heat.
But you can't always get what you want. In fairness, this has been the hottest Michigan July on record in 134 years, and the second wettest. I hope August is more balanced.

Haiku du jour - Grey Rain
rain waterfalls down-
flooding roads, drenching my shoes,
re-greening the world
Michigan blessed us today with a gullywasher, which I enjoy despite the stalled cars and non-functioning traffic signals. Walking to the building is like walking inside the dome of a grey pearl, and the air is fresh and damp, plumping up my skin. After hitting 100 degrees last week, we are so due.
