An Honor

after letting his hair grow for years "Is it long enough for cornrolls" "Can you braid it yet" not even in high school yet - 8th grade I think - the time had come for a shift - to change a familar - to be more of self - and I got to cut it off - he made a noise as the process of cutting began - "it's never to late to get out of the chair" this too is an experience - sitting there an honoring your first knowing - love you Sasha

Alithea was witness to the event - it was special and so cool of Sasha to share it with me - to assume it
