Fiercely I remove from you <br />All the little vestiges- <br />Garments that confine you, <br />Things that touch the flesh, <br />The wool and the silk <br />And the linen that entwine you, <br />Tear them all away from you, <br />Bare you from the mesh. <br />And now I have you as you are, <br />Nothing to encumber you- <br />But now I see, carresing you, <br />Colder hands than mine. <br />They take away your flesh and bone, <br />And, utterly undressing you, <br />They tear you from your beauty <br />And they leave no sign.<br /><br />Witter Bynner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/undressing-you-2/
