Dah Dahlusion Poet Free verse

Touch Earth Grapes

Tonight I raise my chalice 
to the scent of this old cabin
to a mourning dove’s 
pleasant sorrow 
to the common touch
of all people
to the world’s heart
where all dwells

Tonight I drink to the earth
to the thread of its axis 
to the centerline of creation

Tonight I drink
because this wine is the weeping
of so many red grapes
