widow’s peak
that once-and-future crown
forever pointed downward
a nonchalant foreshadowing
of losing its lock of distraction
but that reign is gone now
the dome naked, afraid
as curly contrarian ideas
float away like dandelion dust

she was a candle
and I, afraid of fire,
took a chance,
figuring it better
to have howled
once in moonlight
than avoid that hard
glow knowing
it might fade
ever so quickly
