This crown,
These tresses are made with work.
A dish served with labor.
Greased hands,
And tired fingers.
Curved backs,
And fatigued arms.
A neck bent, and spent, and angled.
Heavy serving of time.
A delicious mane
That rests in herbs,
cooked in oils,
Smoothed with gel,
Rubbed in cream,
All to hold its flavor.
A meal for the versatile palate.
There is a texture to this spread.
Flexibility in its serving.
The twists and braids,
All of it’s presses, molds, bends,
Arches and weaves.
Best in heat,
Savored in cold,
And conversations.
Pair with Music,
Food,
and Good Vibes.
Memories to make it lasting.
This is a ritualistic feast.
Done on routine
For those who crave its zest.
And magic.
Regardless of how long it may take to make this meal,
The results are always exquisite.
