Ah, with the Grape my fading Life provide,
And wash my Body whence the life has died,
And in a Winding Sheet of Vine Leaf wrapt,
So bury me by some sweet Gardenside.
© Omar Khayyam (Tr. FitzGerald)
my final day
drink one last toast
with me my love
anoint my stone with sweet wine
remember me and live
My idea of my final day … great tanka full of pain and love.
