my twenty second birthday...

and the most exciting thing i've ever done
is go for a jog

my father cut my hair
most years
before i left home

before i found a woman and lost her

and now
its time
for me
to go
back
and
have
pa
pare
these
thinning
brown branches
down
to reveal
my face
as young
again
