Dandruff

On a head full of hair,
there will always be weak strands.
Knots on the brain
are also knots in the stomach.
Itch buildup.
Gut-touched
twists too tight
on the scalp.
Don’t cut them off
or wish for an unraveling.
Instead,

be thankful that
dry skin can still
wear a crown.
Be aware
of the muscle to burn
when you eventually
brush the dirt
off your shoulders.
