The more heartrending the better Kimiko learned
The only poem clear to her was
That she preferred rhymed verses of love
At three o’clock
After drinking a cup of tea
She left to visit her friend
She with all of her fifteen years behind her
Accepted with a gentle hand conscious that every step
Of the freedom she won was for the sake of love
(dedicated to a great poet, Gwendolyn Brooks)
