from MAYOR AHIMSA a poem by Jack Hirschman
…and because an African American woman
has been the vessel most scuttled yet most enduring,
most swarmed and throttled yet ever emerging
as the open fist of the living community,
and because I remember the fighting words
of struggle and compassion that young poet Ahimsa
sounded in the days that are no different than today…
