! ! Bier Is Rest Poem by Michael Shepherd

! ! Bier Is Rest

Rating: 5.0


Friends, in the name of God,

dig my grave just behind the pub

next to the sewer pipe;



so I might hear in the morning

the casks delivered in the yard

and in the evening

the waters of contentment.



*

(Paraphrased from an Arab poem of the 8th century)
