GRATE a fresh nutmeg
Scoop THREE handfuls rose petals
Tuck them into the winding sheet 
And MITER the corners carefully round the head and feet
Prepare the tomb,
INTER the body
Pray for the dead 

Georg’ann

He AROSE, still TIRED. 
Grief exhausts like no ITHER
Though it had been months, it seemed only a moment since he’d had to INTER his beloved.
