sideburns

There are details that make it seem so far away now: the sideburns, the wide flares, the cobblestones.

Long sideburns accentuated his cheeks and, at night, black eyeliner rimmed his eyelids.

One day at the noon hour a big farmer with red sideburns rode up to the schoolhouse with a revolver in his hand.

He wore his brown mustache thick and let it grow back over his cheeks to join his sideburns.

The man's hair needed cutting and ragged sideburns strayed down either cheek, to meet beneath his chin.

And outwardly he remained a mild little figure with sideburns, kindly tolerant toward everyone.

You have gray sideburns then, and there's not a touch of gray in your hair now.
