Long hair is companionable.
When I look down at my shoulder, there it is.
I imagine right now that it is a nice animal to pet.
I imagine that this kind animal has volunteered to keep me warm this winter.
I bathe it and dry it and try to keep it from embarrassing me too much.
But it is not, as they say, a tame animal.
It will be misbehaving!
Nevertheless, I am thankful for its presence in my life.
Wild though it be.

The leaves have fallen
There's magic in the dry branch
Thick inside the veins
  
Magia gruesa, espesa.
