The fascination of a hair brush
Simple thing,
A broad wood back and bristles,
Hypnotic as it smooths your hair,
Your long and luscious auburn hair,
I love, I love, your auburn hair:
The way it frames your pale-skin face,
The brown eyes set in contrast,
The pale brown lashes, tinged with gold,
The sunlight on the curls,
The rythmic motions of your brush
In my careful hands.
