The Angel of Reason

I ached,
My cool choked blood ached,
The French girl,
Black hair, dreamy eyes,
Slipped a bit of bread in my hand.
'Little brother, don't cry,
Not now .
Wait.
Wait.
Later on,'
said she.
'Anger, hatred,
The day will come,
But not now.'
My fear, calmed.
'You where in Paris?'
'Oui.'
She looked into my mournful eyes, and into my little corner,
Those eyes I had seen,
Yes, it was she
I had seen,
Almost.
Once, in a dream.
