TRICHOTILLOMANIA AS TOLD BY HAIKUS


I’m plucking out lashes,
twills of eyebrow to 
talk with my body. 

    Pinch here, in between
    my fingers is where skin webs
    and nerves croon like mad.

           Once a day I will
           pose still with the mirror to
           admire damages.

      Friends avoid looking
                 at new bare spots on my brow,
                 not out of kindness.
