Jules

there is something wonderful about getting your hands into someones hair.

I dunno what it is, but I love it.

especially today

when Jules stopped by for a the love feast

and a haircut

and then some hairspray

after a french braid

she put some makeup on her face before dinner

and told me that she's getting better, she hopes to be better soon

and she has gotten better

I remember her hobbling down the alley last year

barely able to breathe

hunchback

clutching somebodies arm because her legs barely worked

without the support

(such a picture of the way we really are

I have discovered

it is harder to breathe without someone

or people beside me

helping my legs have hope and my lungs have air

to keep going)

and today she arrived on her own

thinning hair

beautiful face

she still has hope.

(and there is a reason)

ps. DanMike and I are dating again. lol, don't tell him I told you.
