The dead old woman

Her body is broken with lines

They divide her face

Crippled, bone-white corpse

Dried out and laid in a box

Sealed tight behind wood

Frail and pallid blue

Like the veins that once housed blood

She choked her last breath

Little dead lady

But the service was alive

With candles that danced
