[Your breath was shed]

 Poem [Your breath was shed]

Your breath was shed

Invisible to make

About the soiled undead

Night for my sake,


A raining trail

Intangible to them

With biter's tooth and tail

And cobweb drum,


A dark as deep

My love as a round wave

To hide the wolves of sleep

And mask the grave.
