trusting
raze
sometimes
someone
would
talk
her
into
seeing
a
hairdresser.
the
rest
of
the
time
,
your
grandmother
cut
her
own
hair
with
kitchen
shears.
she
kept
it
cropped
short
.
it
was
easier
that
way
.
when
she
was
finished
,
she
would
ask
you
to
shave
her
neck
with
a
straight
razor
.
you'd
guide
the
primeval
blade
over
foam-covered
flesh
age
had
made
almost
impossibly
soft
, removing filament
from
follicle
with
the
same
care
she
took
to
clothe
you
when
you
were
new
to
the
world
.
