Finding My Elegy: New and Selected Poems by Ursula K. Le Guin

the wine of hatred is like wormwood:

they who drink it cannot cease drinking.

May the grapes of those vineyards rot on the vines,

may the casks of the vintners burst asunder,

may the vintners be ashamed of their folly.

Then may your peoples go to the well in the marketplace

and draw water together, go out into the desert

seeking the wellsprings, conversing together,

forgetful of old wrongs, remembering kinship.

Let them speak long together of justice

and kneel down then to drink

from the wells and springs that are life in that desert,

praising the giver of the holy waters.

And may this curse be upon you

and your sons and your daughters

to the ninth generation.
