Teddy Kimathi Poet Narrative

Another Life

Tommy’s heart lay motionless, 
surrounded by ice-cubes in an ice-box.  

“We will be together again!” Christine assured his heart.

The van she drove raced swiftly to the hospital, 
as fast as sun god Ra’s fiery chariot. After the heart transplant, she wondered 
whether her lover would still recognize her in his new body.
