the salon floor

the sharp back teeth

of the

comb 

between strands

fall to the floor

oil pulled

everything swept

into a neat pile

a bird’s nest

of daily clippings

news hair stories

blonde brunette black auburn

brush vivid life 

with Ayurvedic talk

of science and hair booms

to soak up oil spills

hairpiece wigs

of wearable compost

enrich the soil 

of a vegetable garden

a lock around my neck

or perhaps a hair bikini

peace art strong furniture

mats human hair chair

even soy sauce

made from proteinaceous

trimmings

from the salon floor
