McVEY, James, (Fifteenth Anniversary) Life Cycle
When you cart me to the Graveyard plant a vine upon my breast.
I shall know my alcoholic heart by its tender roots caressed.
I shall feel mortal substance back to wine transmogrified.
And shall thrill to taste its branches drawing up the rising tide.
When you tread the ripened bunches and the festive cup goes round,
Pour a little vintage back upon the
thirsty ground.
As I pay my debt to nature, mingling once more among men,
This shall be my consummation and my hope to rise again.
A.D.Hope
