EPITAPH by THOMAS MCGRATH

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.
