Poem
Mohamed Bachkar
Drunkenness Mounting the stairs of grapes
With bunches of grapesI sewed
My own ladders
Of drunkenness.
While ascending
Robed in its own cloud
The sky slipped
Like a glass
Which on my lips splintered
Into stars
And overflowed through God’s wound . . .

Drunkenness Mounting the stairs of grapes
With bunches of grapesI sewed
My own ladders
Of drunkenness.
While ascending
Robed in its own cloud
The sky slipped
Like a glass
Which on my lips splintered
Into stars
And overflowed through God’s wound . . .
