Divine Dionysus
For Savannah K. Wilson's Ingenious Challenge
By D. J. ReddallPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read
Caravaggio, "Bacchino Malato [Young Sick Bacchus]," c. 1594
Dionysus, twice-born and deathless drunk divine
God of delirious intoxication
Lord of the sodden and sweetly supine
Your nation is imagination
Particularly when it’s dark
Chaotic, rough and roiling
Too deep for any bark
Soberly sailing
To navigate;
A drink will
Steady
Nerves
