New Wine

Skin the skin,
Skin the soul,
Empty out,
And fill it full.

Skin the temple,
Flesh and blood,
Pour new wine,
And tie it up.

Let it bubble
And ferment,
Stretch the skin;
Let it vent.

Skin your body,
Skin your bones,
Skin the temple,
Empty tombs.

Put it in,
Blood and oil,
Set aside,
And let it boil.

Skin the body,
Fill with wine,
Set aside,
Give it time:

Forty days
And forty nights,
In your belly,
Safe from light.

Let the crushed grapes
Steep until,
Your new skin
With wine is filled.

Go to Jeru,
Go back home,
Wait until
The wine is done.

Then pass the bottle,
Pop the cork,
Let it out,
Get to work.

Fill your wineskins,
With new wine,
Pass the bread,
Give it time.
