Author's statement: "I write this poem because I feel there are very few flowers in this field we so dishonestly call life. And so few are involved with living but my vibrations from this woman, Angela Yvonne Davis, are that she wishes to live and that desire forced her involvement to the point of death. And I listened to Roberta FLack sing Donny Hathaway as he's never been sung saying "you were mine for only a minute" with all the pain of understanding in the minute. And this woman brought out feelings of hope for us that no one has brought ot me since I lost someone whom I love more than...how can I say life when I have continued to live though he too is gone ... I offer in love this poem of Angela Yvonne Davis, spoken as I think she would speak, because she's the other third of me - - - and some part of you"--Pages 1-2.

Received with the papers of Angela Y. Davis.
