From Hyunhye Seo 1. I’m exposed by the hair that falls from me in long, dark and grotesque trails. It’s impossible to pretend I wasn’t where I’ve been. 2. They’re on pillows I shouldn’t have slept on and on chairs when I linger too long. They used to shake out onto dance floors, but I don’t go dancing anymore. Not lately. They’re reminders of all that I’ve been and shouldn’t have and maybe won’t be again. 3. Sometimes I don’t even notice how they tangle around everything I own. Other times, I’m mortified to find them spreading under my toes. No matter how I coil them upon my head with the utmost care, they still fall, mocking the restraint I impose, beg for, then abandon. 4. Are they still a part of me if they fall off me? What if I don’t want them anymore? Who cares?! I didn’t want to grow them anyways! 5. You may not remember me, but you’re sure to find a strand of me long after you’ve forgotten. credits released June 11, 2021 Recorded by Jamie Stewart at NURSE studio Produced by Lawrence English User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
