Makeshift Face

by Talie   Oct 19, 2009


Send me from my native France, (from) laying on the blood soaked sands, and being bathed by the waters of Normandy.

And fly my flag-draped coffin to Allied England's Abbey to sleep out my days, for the remainder of Eternity.

My friends and loved ones will never know where I am and may never know I rest in peace, but I speak for all, not least on behalf of all those fallen (and who cannot rest), without names and found at last.

For I give the other nameless like I, a makeshift face, and in this place on step-less bed I feel safe.
