Can
the bald lie? The nature of the skin says not:
it's
newborn-pale, erection-tender stuff,
every
thought visible,-pure knowledge,
mind
in action-shining through the skull.
I saw
one, a woman, hairless absolute, cleaning.
She
mopped the green floor, dusted bookshelves,
all
cloth and concentration, Queen of the moon.
You
can tell, with the bald, that the air
speaks
to them differently, touches their heads
with
exquisite expression. As she danced
her
laundry dance with the motes, everything
she
ever knew skittered under her scalp.
It was
clear just from the texture of her head,
she
was about to raise her arms to the sky;
I
covered my ears as she prepared to sing, roar,
to let
the big win resonate in the little room.
