The Path to Forgiveness

You are lucky if in the end
you have all your limbs,
your clothes,
or unsinged hair.

Thankful are those who make it without
possession or pride.

You must be ready.
Strip yourselves now,
and advance with caution.

You may even recollect
what's salvageable

if you still find use for it.
