Epitaph |
---|
No epitaph shall there be when I die
for the birds on some mountaintop will I feed
and in their bellies, in a thousand pieces freed
shall I ascend, into the Eternal Blue Sky
But should no bird for me wish to fly
would I the flames engulf these old bones
lighting me up in a dying sun’s carmine tones
and carry me up in smoke, to that Eternal Blue Sky
Still should the ardours of fire pass me by
would I a ship grave be fashioned swift
and with no goods laden, be set adrift
to float and deliver me, into the horizon sky
And should Tengri my company disdain
then in white cloth wrapped shall I be lain
with my mother under that accursed blue sky
and a headstone inscribed with the cry:
Quelle tristesse, le monde entier!
