Ukrainian soldiers find ancient amphorae whilst digging defences
“The discovery was made whilst digging ditches and defences to protect Odesa, the third most populous city in Ukraine and a major seaport/transport hub on the Ukraine’s southern coast. The amphorae date from around the 3rd to 4th century AD, during which time Odesa was a Roman settlement known as Odessus that developed from a Greek colony.”

when i die
burn my body to ash
so that my spirit is freed
a plain terra cotta amphora
to hold whats left if me
put two coins in the ash
the highest value you can find
and bury my on a hillside
with a birch planted, reaching for the sky
and when you think of me
find an asphodel flower
so when you pick one for you
you can think of where i will wander
at peace and knowing
you’re doing okay
and on the Fields of Hades
we might meet one day
