the haircut

there are blonde
clips of your hair 
on the floor.
shaken
from the striped sheet
wrapped
around your body
in the barber's chair.
your mother
outside the door
giving you a wave
with  a tear in her eye.
watching
you grow up
before her very eyes.
knowing that in time
you will be leaving
to the side
of your own life.
