I WILL KEEP THEM…

Here
in the long night
… beneath the stars,
……… the Moon!
and memory of them all…
I will keep them.

My arms
around them,
………… and all the dying around them
I will keep.

To myself
I will keep them
… and all the Death I shall keep.

I walk arm in arm
within history…………… and memory!

Alone!

………… bringing them home.
