In praise and holding in mind the memory of Nikki Giovanni
Extract Nikki Giovanni (US poet)
(and if ever I touched a life that life knows that I know that touching was and still is and will always be the true revolution)
For Nikki Giovanni
I reached out and found what was already there
Prepared patiently for me
Neither too far or too near but just right

It has many names
Care, Love, You.
About, With, For

For evermore
Noone and nothing can take this from me
What is stronger than We?
Us.
