Warm air like breath

On the back of my neck

Hope for

An old era's return

She enters

Hesitant and stricken

My powerful presence

To forever halt a crowd

Against the wall

Sunlight filters down

Her story unfolds

I halt her

Old era's words

I know her story

I lived her story

I saw the thread

Connecting the outcome

Of the rest of her

Life

I made the

Blood red marks

Hearts on paper

I claimed the thread

Was for them

I ensured he was

A lucky man

For he is

Another man

Never broken, never a dreamer

Unlike the one

Of this recollection.
