                                Our god's withdrawn;
                                our passion cold.
                                We cannot bear;
                                we cannot hold.
                               
                                Our human skin
                                splits down to bone.
                                Our soul departs,
                                for parts unknown.
                               
                                At least the cat's
                                not bid adieu;
                                it seems aged meat's
                                an tasty chew.
