Her hair is longer now,
longer than he has seen, before.
There was a time,
when cancer had its way,
that it came out, in handfuls.
Once, in their apartment,
she had cut her hair.
He rescued that sample
Now he carries that sample,
in his wallet,
as he carries her in his heart.
As they live separate lives, together,
He wonders about the changes,
they share, together.
He has begun to see,
as she has saught, to teach.
That change is good, for him, for her, for them.
Maybe she will keep this change,
like the many changes, he has sought to keep,
as they live their life together, apart.
