'the braids'

A raven beauty
slowly runs her fingers
through her crown of hair
The spaces through her hands
filled with silky strands
as she smooth them past her ears
and gathers them in a bunch

Like a mistress true to her arts
in a hand, she holds her crown
and smoothes the remaining ebony silk
with the other.

The dance of fingers in harmonious tune
in concentration did they create
Hear her hum a soft tune
as she tie the final mantle to her work..

oh and what a sight to see.
