To make it right, you can take away
until only skin and bones remain.
With elixirs you can reign over pleasure and pain,
you can go on,
feeling only frustration that there is something missing,
that in this piece you cannot find more than a morsel
of dignity, which wouldn't bother you so much
except that you can sense the potential
for so much more.
