They leaned into caskets and kissed the dead on the forehead, the cheeks, the lips. They spoke to them.Klay had seen so many dead he couldn't remember his first, but he didn't understand it.

To say yes is to dieA lot or a little. The dead wear capably their wryEnameled emblems. They smell.But that and that they do not altogether yell is all that we know well.It is brave to be involved,To be not fearful to be unresolved.Her new wish was to smileWhen answers took no airships, walked a while.
