Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

From "In Memory of Rita Hester", by Nancy R. Nangeroni:

I gazed into the windows
of the bar where you were last seen
I searched each patron's eyes for signs of guilt
I heard again your mama cry
"Who took away my child?"
echoing off canyon walls of brick and steel

I still hear your mama's cries
Haunting the canyons of my mind
You were just too much girl
For somebody else's world
