Bearing Witness

By Utah

INGO

Died on the 21st day of the eighth month, 1281 at the age of seventy two

Three and seventy years
I've drawn pure water from the fire---
Now I become a tiny bug.
With a touch of my body
I shatter all worlds.

Japanese Death Poems

odd I would pick this poem as I was born six hundred and sixty two years latter on the same day... huh!
