A dark night

Breath I need to
breath
draw a breath
from beneath
ringing out the faces
rambling names people and places
one to many
way to much

I cant remember
alive breathing
I cant forget
the dead
falling at my feet
dead by the river
floating in the sea
underneath the stars

scape the scum from my face
a shallow grave lies awake
waiting to be filled
black knifes
drawn from the deepest secrets
of unknown soldiers
fighting a fight they don't understand
embedded in there eyes
like a raging monster
lying in the marsh
awaiting the unsuspecting
so he may eat once more
