FROM YOU
Tabanda must be old now
remember teaching her
scariest student
ever to come to
the language college
frightening the life
out of
all her middle aged
female teachers
me
just knocked for
six by her beauty
her quiet
kindness, less
than innocent laughter
she must
have become quite old now
hope the war
heading her way does
not touch her
or touch you
my incidental muse
my friend
from a
dead different planet
opposites attracting but
not where
too
opposite
to find, keep,
a connection
I hope this war
stays far away from you
scary threat
to all her middle aged
British
