First Line: Again, traveller, you have come a long way led by that star
Last Line: Living on catastrophe, eating the pure light
Subject(s): Epitaphs; Friendship; Gays & Lesbians; Men
Again, traveller, you have come a long way led by that star.
But the kingdom of the wish is at the other end of the night.
May you fare well, companero; let us journey together joyfully,
Living on catastrophe, eating the pure light.
