Paris,1945 Poem by Bernard Henrie

Paris,1945



Did I mention the shy blanche of grapes
I fastened to her coat?


She gave a fountain pen on a silver lanyard.

We ate our breakfast with abattoir workers
in Les Halles, onion soup and fat strawberries;

accordion music for free.

We had bright cat eyes only for each other.
We refused to rest; the blue streets
cold as the Greenland ice cap.
