The Blood From the Vines
The golden brass goblet with amethyst stones
Blessed by the Pope in Thailand and Rome
Yields of the grapes, jellied to wine
Bruised by the fingers of humankind
Mournfully plucked from its fibrous stems
Purporting of blood, a sacrament to men
Stained on the lips of all who partake
A cleansing of sins of the human race
