The Sacrifice

A Question That Was Never A Question

Ah yes, my hair, my curly hair “It looks so soft,” they’d say And then ‘May I?’ As hands reached out to stroke my head and I would clam and bear the pat and drool as curls were likened to the wool of a — sacrificial — lamb

Again another reaction to a prompt from the never-ending poem chain. This time from G.R. MELVIN: “Lamb”, one I couldn’t resist as the word triggered memories of childhood discomfort.
