AFTER THE ROBES OF FLESH HAVE BEEN SET ASIDE

What garbs of flesh

we have while we breath

and think and waste

these fleeting years

shall be set aside

in the cold earth;

from under these guises

of faces and names,

bodies beautiful

and decrepit,

only our common humanity

in bones shall be left.

On this pedestal of death

you see solely human beings.
