They had hair hanging to the waist, or to the shoulders; or the young girls' lock of hair; or the hair wound about the head; or the hair cut all the same length. Hair forms; we shake our heads; we lift our heads in pride; we shave ourselves, we cut our hair; we shake our heads, we shake our heads again and again; we rest our heads; we bind our heads...brown, yellow, chili-red, ruddy, white, twisted, curly, wavy, coarse, bent, thick, fine, like corn silk, long, stubby, white...it lengthens, it grows, it grows long.
