To the Oppressors

 

Now you are strong

And we are but grapes aching with ripeness.

Crush us!

Squeeze from us all the brave life

Contained in these full skins.

But ours is a subtle strength

Potent with centuries of yearning,

Of being kegged and shut away

In dark forgotten places.

 

We shall endure

To steal your senses

In that lonely twilight

Of your winter’s grief.
