Gray, white, salt, silver
Intersectionality
Just one part of me
Silver streaks ignite,
Time’s graffiti, bold and bright,
Cool vibes, age takes flight.
Yes, I have gray hair.
Yes, you can see my ID.
And now her wheels are turning.
Silver threads emerge,
Disco party on my head,
Gray hair, do care, babe!
Counter-culture vibes.
Doing me with timeless style.
Gray hair slays, no cap.
Second guessed myself.
Wondered if I could do it.
I can and I did.
Beautiful silver,
Revolution on my head,
Aging, my way.
I never thought that
growing out my hair would
be a confidence boost.
Gray strands like moonbeams,
Shimmering night sky on earth,
Stardust in my hair.
A wink and a nod.
Now I know I’m not alone.
She’s going gray too.
So…what is your gray hair haiku?
