The Covid Collection – Embracing Grey
Embracing Grey
you are too young to have grey hair she said to my 40 something self
triggering nascent insecurity
periodically I have toyed with letting my natural color emerge
always tempered by wanting to present as young as I feel
now Covid has offered the opportunity to see what is
safe in my mostly sequestered cocoon
the box of wash-in youth not far from reach
when Cuomo sets my colorist loose I will have to decide to decide
for now I watch the change unfold
