Moonlight bathes headstones
In elongated shadows,
Casting a cynical glow.
Perfectly aligned mercenaries
Long ago legions,
Covenants to life’s carnage.
Brittle cement markers
Forgotten names etched and
Adorned in plastic flowers.
Resurrected in moments,
Dream state paralysis-
Are you remembered tonight?
