Hair in the wind.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
My hair used to be thick and full
I rarely ever let it down to blow
In the wind.
Once I cut it all off and then let it down
To be free and fertile and reach the ground
But I have a sence of it falling now
I pull it sometimes because I know how
Its going to look when all gone though
Like a fluffy white seed that I let go
To blow in the wind.
