Assata...
raged against the machine
and thus
most wanted
in the America
that she was forced
to escape...
lived
rebellious... and revolutionary
died
barefoot... and bilingual...
aged
gracefully...
surrounded by
the ocean
hibiscus, passion fruit
and mango trees...
with
wind-blown hair
and
sun-kissed skin
and
the taste
in her mouth
of
Freedom
