My Afro spread a dozen
Natural and yet NOT inherited by my cuzin
Hair this long and sweet only comes a dime a dozen
And right now I'm happy that it's graces my husband
I'm happy that it lays low but grows around something that doesn't
Something that can rise whenever it sees me comin'
Because that's MY afro

No this afro doesn't grace this marvelous body
In fact not a string comes from me
It's one of a marvelous man that thinks I'm lovely
You see, I call it mine because me
And ONLY me
Can pull the strans of this afro and make it go to the side slowly
Reaching a core that can ONLY
be inserted in me
Silky strans that rubs against mine's naturally
Building a bond that can only be beautifully
And gently
MY afro!!!!!!

Gracing a head
A head of a man in a rose petalled bed
Grease on it's hairs with silky strans of red
Knowing a cut of scissors could neva be made
Because this bond my afro and me have made
Could neva be refed
To another human or that of the dead
Because it's MY afro!!!!!!!

Moans ans groans call into the air
Yet a hair hasn't moved out of place not that this is rare
Because I have taught my hairs to stay with it's pair
This hair
The hair of the afro graces that of a man slash bear
Because he treats me roughly but do I care
No, because I own that afro....down there
Whether there
or here
It's still mine's no matter
Because it knows where it's home is....... with my patch together
Because it is MY afro


No....no......I shall not take a no
When I want to braid and pull at this afro
Because heck where I go it goes
And it already knows
There are no no's
Because when I holler at it......it does not grow
Instead it stranks until it's no longer an afro at all
Not even MY afro!!!!!!!


Well, let's take that back...it's still my afro!!!!!!!!!!!!
