Rum Is Sacrament

a vessel of earth and sky proclaiming to possess light and deepest depth clad in the satisfaction nearest to the wind but then dawning cloud like vestments to walk safely in the seething mass though by inclination none were needed but to placate the malevolent the sibling gods make a place to rest in gut then rushing in discourse insert long and narrow tendrils through the blood before setting fire to the brain as Asuras sing in praise rum is sacrament Inspired by rum and the language of the Rig Veda concerning the Soma ritual. See Rig 10:136
