Valedictory for a Valedictorian
(for Cynthia S., 4B class valedictorian)
come back, Cambodian-maid,
greater half of German crust.
you move to the "killing fields”
in the land of the Ankor Vat
to anchor your hopes amongst
a curious people in a war-torn soil.
your dainty hands reach out
to serve, teach and educate;
your black hair, lengthy
as your lofty mission to help.
then suddenly you return!
that familiar smell of cut grass
gone from your sinuous hair –
tresses so long and straight
that belie the twists and turns
in your perplexed life.
a brief sojourn by the spring waters
in a nocturnal reunion with peers
(though meant to unravel your enigma),
added more mystery, instead!
then you left, swiftly as you came.
come back…
