Dionysus Poem by Cherie Mort

Dionysus



Ebony waves and winedark eyes
How you are crowned with a circlet of vines
A purple robe the color of blood
Does clothe you, even as it drags through the mud
Your milky skin, ever hid in the shade
Makes you glow like a moonstone in a midnight parade
But the lies you found truths for in each cup of wine
Were too much to bear; thus, you choked on the vine
