And a wineskin, felled, with both its hands cut off—
And a wineskin, lying slain, both its hands severed—
we killed it and did not mourn it.
We killed it and did not weep for it.

I spilled blood from it that caused it no pain,
I shed blood from it that did not harm it.
and I had my share in spilling it.
And the benefit of spilling it was mine.

With me is a rapture that heeds no reproach
With me is a rapture that heeds no reproach,
and never shrinks from striking it down.
And does not hold back from slaying it.
