Each curl,

Each coil,

Each wayward strand, Whispers a chorus, “Yes, we made it, hand in hand.”

On nimble fingers, A dance of hope took flight,

Stray strands gathered

Like whispers of past fight.

The hold and movement, mend the mane in grips of grit.

By the interlacing of fingers tenacity found its place.

Mother, daughter, and her whole ghost,

A holy trinity,

Over, under, over

Mother, daughter and her whole ghost
