At The Cafe Des 2 Moulins Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is right here from this cafe des 2 moulins
where one day she decided to find a way
to make others happy

she is in a quandary
for in here there are always lonely men and women
and even children

she takes note of each of them
a child lonely because he lost his toy car
a woman whose marriage is on the verge of a collapse
and she has nowhere to go
a man whose wife left her for another younger man

they sip coffee here
there gazes as far as the farthest distance of the star

she is a very unhappy woman herself
but for now
she does not care

she finds a way for them to be happy
she found the lost toy, the wife came back to be reunited with the husband
the husband realized that he loved her more

she does not tell what caused her sadness
but she does not really care about herself now

at night she goes to her bed
soundly sleeping after

tomorrow, she will find another lonely soul again
she has become an angel
