UNKEMPT

with hair rustling in the wind like branches 
from trees in non-existing forests 
untamable, like stoked fire 
amidst the heat, summers torrent 

wild like a caged animal 
words from a babbling poet 
eccentric, unattainable, 
no one can imitate, eclectic
a hot mess, yet magically majestic 

to brush them is heresy, 
blessed 
shaggy and uneven 
proudly admonishing like heathens 

with beautiful eyes 
come the mane that make them becoming 
separate they are the truth 
together they can tell no lies 
her eyes and her regal mane 
half-truths in disguise
