'for Heidi'

your hair is natural and good
in its beautiful brevity

like the pine comb nestled
above me in a green tree,

it's soft brown intricate surface
beckons me and covers many

seeds of new life ready to sail
aloft on a fresh breeze on a bright

and mild day, then when tiring from
its airborne adventure, in a gesture

of infinite trust, she drops down onto
mother earth to sprout in living soil

and to be birthed as a proud
and strong welcoming tree, 

evergreen
evergood
everhere.
