to Zainab on her anniversary, the smallest contribution by way of wishful thinking....
Your anniversary might be the most important in your life,
since you will nevermore be twenty years again,
at twenty I was already too old
and had all but committed suicide,
but I wish you just the contrary -
to stay alive and fresh and young forever,
since, hopefully, you will have a very long life left to live.

179. Many happy returns
Your anniversary might be the most important in your life,
since you will nevermore be twenty years again,
at twenty I was already too old
and had all but committed suicide,
but I wish you just the contrary -
to stay alive and fresh and young forever,
since, hopefully, you will have a very long life left to live.
