Woman and Girl Appearing at the Mall Entrance Like a Dream

We all have a right to
our hair, usually dark, shadowy
non-descript, work-a-day
and we appear in earth colors,
blending with the dust.

But the woman and her daughter today
wore the colors of the sun.
They came from the north where the
air is mythically clean,
land of the pines, not our north
but the north of worthy people.
They were golden.

Their hair flowed gold
and I wondered what it would be like
to be born and go through life with
gold in the mirror.
