New wine is the only way
to sobriety in a drunk world.
New wine is the antidote
to frenetic fear, passed like shots
across the bar that seals graves closed.
Although the hubris of man
loudly regurgitates fear's false
remedies across saturated gullets,
they choke and are made blind.
Plunge your whole self
into the new wine that never runs dry
and gives life to clinking bones.
Herald now, outside
the cacophony of the grotto,
a new song.
It breaks
the siren's slithering spell
and rips her scales off of the eyes
of those groping in the dark.
Will we stay upon the sinking sand
or climb abreast Christ's ark?
Let them gawk and mock
at you and his flock
who loves his pages
Let them talk and balk --
who cannot hear the clock
As you dance with
your Rock of Ages
