Take my body
Put it in a boat
Light it on fire
Send it out to sea
Put it in a boat
Light it on fire
Send it out to sea
Long held Viking burial fantasy. My body atop a funeral pire in a boat, not some behemoth ship, just a simple boat with a small white sail. Set adrift in a Scandinavian fjord, surrounded by high cliffs with archers poised, bowstrings taut, the arrows aflame. They fly swift and true setting my body ablaze and we, my body and I, float out to sea. Maybe in a past life.
[Reminder: must learn Icelandic]
