[Verse]
FmWith quill and silver knife
She carved a poison Bbmpen
Wrote to her lover's wFmife:
C"Your husband's seed has fed my Fmflesh".
As if a leper's face
That tainted letter graced
The wife with choke-stone throat
Ran to the day with tear-blind eyes.

[Verse]
Impaled on nails of ice
And raked with emerald fire
The wife with soul of snow
With steady hands begins to write:
"I'm still, I need no life
To serve on boys and men
What's mine was yours is dead
I take my leave of mortal flesh"
