Tshego Khumalo Poet Free verse

Ruth

Teeth stained, odour untamed 
Ruth is her name 
She smiles everyday 

My friend Ruth 
She likes city views 
Just like me and you 

Night-time falls 
Unphased by the cold 
My friend Ruth explores 

Pipes, bridges 
Benches, boxes 
She calls this place home 

Crime free and tax free 
My friend Ruth is happy 
Why wouldn't she be?
