by Martin Mburu

They walk in, hairs of different colours, different strands, different lengths,
different textures and different races carried on heads of different sizes and shapes. 
They come with the same need.
They have the same image.
I serve them with joy, hoping they will see my real Master.
I always attempt non hair-raising chatter.
As the hairs fall off,
I ask the Master;
The one who numbers them, 
To shave the soul. 
The heads leave lighter but heavy with joy and a new style of fruitfulness.
