Before the dead
we are always nude
therefore don’t hide yourself
behind the tricks
of society
because they are ridiculous
think better
that we are a chain
where each link
not only does it see
oneself
but the previous one
through knowledge
and the next one
through intelligence
and one is nude
in nudity
and not vacuous
in vacuity
this is the reason why one knows
that it is only
one’s work
and only that
which will keep
the chain
alive.
