I've never changed
the color of my hair
to try and find myself
looking always but not
there

I was promiscuous
but it was searching
under sheets for my lost
understanding

Men came and went
like stockings with
runners or used tampons
discarded

I thought a child
would show me who
but that was fleeting

Then he held up
a full-sized mirror
and I looked into it
and questioned what I saw

Today I paint pictures
water color past

My hair is still as red
as when
