Come!
Follow our rowboat as
we cross the sea to worship
in the temple of Dionysus.
Convalesce on velvet cushions
Bury your lips in the mound of another
All debauchery is welcome here
Let the centaur predict your fate
Divine constellations his guide
He speaks in foreign tongues
Drape your body in ivy
Raise the chalice
Pound the fennel staff into mossy earth
Dance with us!
The amethyst fire awaits
Turn your eyes toward the moon
and scream.
