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-
