Emily Dickinson - Color—Caste—Denomination

970 <br /> <br />Color—Caste—Denomination— <br />These—are Time's Affair— <br />Death's diviner Classifying <br />Does not know they are— <br /> <br />As in sleep—All Hue forgotten— <br />Tenets—put behind— <br />Death's large—Democratic fingers <br />Rub away the Brand— <br /> <br />If Circassian—He is careless— <br />If He put away <br />Chrysalis of Blonde—or Umber— <br />Equal Butterfly— <br /> <br />They emerge from His Obscuring— <br />What Death—knows so well— <br />Our minuter intuitions— <br />Deem unplausible—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem..../color-caste-denomin
