Dionysus Serves Me Cup to Drink
Dionysus serve a gold chalice
Of your precious wine
Red as blood
Or gold as honey
Wine made of bursting grapes
Falling off the vines
Fit for Zeus
And not for me
Then give me to drink your
Silver tears
That slide down your
Wrinkling cheeks
Then give me the hemlock
The juice so sweet as wine
Let me drink the drink that I please
Let me love the drink I want
The flutes overflow with sparkling wine
The goblets are half filled of misery and rue
The chalice is brimmed of life
But the demitasse holds death like any other drink
