An act of cellular violence
This physiological warfare
Shedding ruddiness of skin
Sheen of soft hair
Sturdiness of body
Strips away illusion
Of what strength means
Of how beauty appears
Of where the soul lives
Steadying my eyes to
Love that binds us
For all eternity.
—Jane Chin wrote this poem after reading my On Losing Hair post that I had re-posted on Quora. To think that such a deep connection (inspiring poetry) could be made by the simple act of interacting online is moving. Thank you Dr. Chin.
