The Grapes In Season
There is a vine, it is called the vine of life and death.
It is an ancient vine, planted and tended long ago.
The regular trimming leaves a shape like little crosses.
As the ethereal spirit permeates along the living vine.
Though the sign says, "nowhere", the journey produces.
That which withers and dies are subsequently pared away.
For then the fruit is fertile and the wine made is sublime.
And then the process is resurrected over and over again.
