QUOTE : LXXIX<br /><br />When I die, I want your hands on my eyes.<br />I want the light and wheat of your beloved hands to pass their freshness over me once moreL<br />I want to feel the softness that changed my destiny.<br /><br />I want you to live while I wait for you, asleep.<br />I want your ears still to hear the wind, I want you to sniff the sea's aroma that we loved together,<br />to continue to walk on the sand we walk on.<br /><br />I want what I love to continue to live,<br />and you whom I love and sang above everything else.<br />to continue to flourish, full-flowered.<br /><br />So that you can reach everything my love directs you to. <br />So that my shadow can travel along in your hair,<br />so that everything can learn the reason for my song.
