Supplication
I share your orgy blood, king Dionysus,
and from your ashes raise a thousand revelries.
Oh let me taste the honey-cakes of sin;
let me subsist on surfeit long enough.
I cannot long contain my burgeoning,
my holy light that would drink and eat and love
embracing fullness
praising pleasure
breaking bread
dying young but free.
and from your ashes raise a thousand revelries.
Oh let me taste the honey-cakes of sin;
let me subsist on surfeit long enough.
I cannot long contain my burgeoning,
my holy light that would drink and eat and love
embracing fullness
praising pleasure
breaking bread
dying young but free.

Going to recommend this to a friend I think will dig your vibe. I love the unconventional word usages.

Your depiction of Dionysius is fulfilling and vivid. He was the entity of the body craves and one of the many stones in construction of the Christ. Congrats! 🙏
