Untangle my knotted fairy tale
and run your fingers through
its platinum shades.
Let them flow
down
the
back
of
a
chair,
a downpour of hair
spun like silk,
an impossible
waterfall of follicles.
Kim M. Russell, 2017
My response to Imaginary Garden with Real Toads Camera Flash!
This week Kerry has chosen a black and white photograph by Man Ray, ‘Woman with Long Hair’ (1929)
writing in north norfolk 
There is such freedom expressed in letting the hair flow free. Love the waterfall of follicles.

– what a brilliant idea – and it’s the word “impossible” that totally clinches this well worded and crafted poem – gorgeous ending Kim!
