Color—Caste—Denomination

Color—Caste—Denomination—

These—are Time’s Affair—

Death’s diviner Classifying

Does not know they are—

As in sleep—All Hue forgotten—

Tenets—put behind—

Death’s large—Democratic fingers

Rub away the Brand—

If Circassian—He is careless—

If He put away

Chrysalis of Blonde—or Umber—

Equal Butterfly—

They emerge from His Obscuring—

What Death—knows so well—

Our minuter intuitions—

Deem unplausible—
