which are the hands that rake through my hair

to “harvest” loose strands.

You like looking for the thick,

crimpled ones,

then you hold one end with your index and thumb and pull it tight

down its lenght

and let go, letting it coil into an ugly squiggle–

a present for me, you say.

A present?

I love you!
