The Winter of my Content
I shaved the beard off this morning.
It was a pretty good one, as far as my own history with facial hair goes: a coarse ruff that spread across the hollows of my cheeks with a reddish tinge, a disconcerting spot of gray on my chin. I let it go longer than any other beard I have ever worn, long enough that the spaces at the parentheses on either side of my mouth, the bald patches on my jawline filled in somewhat. My mustache of rusted wheat grew long enough to curl over my upper lip. And under my chin the hair darkened to a deep brown, the color of roasted coffee.
