To throw the cloak away,
not like an exhibitionist,
nor in a theatrical way,
but as a solemn abstinence
from a rugged survival instinct,
reveal what is, not what should be,
letting the blows fall, with no guards to shield,
and be fiercely exhuming “what is”,
We find the way.
In it, we find all meaningfulness that matters.
