Drink this

After Joel 1

Drink this new wine,

this wine of disaster,

the wine that devours you,

this bitter grape you

planted in your vineyards,

the vineyards of the locusts,

An army of locusts

buzzing and feeding

upon the land

upon your soul.

And then the dreams

and then the visions

and then the wind pours out,

the wind pours out.
