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 largeDemocratic fingers
Rub away the Brand
If Circassian He is careless
If He put away
Chrysalis of Blondeor Umber
Equal Butterfly
They emerge from His Obscuring
What Death knows so well
Our minuter intuitions
Deem unplausible
