Do People moulder equally,
They bury, in the Grave?
I do believe a Species
As positively live
As I, who testify it
Deny that I – am dead –
And fill my Lungs, for Witness –
From Tanks – above my Head –
I say to you, said Jesus –
That there be standing here –
A Sort, that shall not taste of Death –
If Jesus was sincere –
I need no further Argue –
That statement of the Lord
Is not a controvertible –
He told me, Death was dead –
(Emily Dickinson)
