Braids

We could be two strands of hair,
Intertwined and tangled together.
We could wrap around to overlap,
Held close by the other's embrace.
We could be braids
Firmly pressed into a tighter bond
Than we can provide for ourselves,
A rotating band of mutual support
That drapes, hanging from the head
Of our loving expression.
