Autumn Leaves

volume 4 number 6

Hair Oasis

by Sondra Ball

I sit in the car.

On sudden impulse,
half way between
work and dinner,
my husband stopped
for a hair cut.

I do not love
barbershops
with their sharp edges
and keen lights.

I love, instead,
cold silent nights.

That is why
I am sitting
alone
in the car.
