LET DOWN YOUR
LET DOWN YOUR HAIR
A pair of cardinals lived in the gulley
by our tree They arrived in winter and
looked like pools of blood in the snow
I thought the ruby one should be the girl
and still don’t really know why she can’t
The girls I know want more than pretty plumage
Size counts and depth Smooth moves stick handling
good dangling & knowledge of knots
