Mohamed Bachkar

Drunkenness Mounting the stairs of grapes

With bunches of grapes
I 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

Close

Drunkenness Mounting the stairs of grapes

With bunches of grapes
I 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 grapes
I 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 . . .
