Cobwebs hang white on the frosty air as digging begins A lone bird on a bush makes its high call, sharp as the wind through a broken window a toothpick of noise bouncing off damp bricks, that look as though they might fall softly to the wet grass below and lay hidden by tears Is there anything more profound than the mournful sound of a shovelling ***** as it fills in a grave and closes the ground

The Mournful Sound
Cobwebs hang white on the frosty air as digging begins A lone bird on a bush makes its high call, sharp as the wind through a broken window a toothpick of noise bouncing off damp bricks, that look as though they might fall softly to the wet grass below and lay hidden by tears Is there anything more profound than the mournful sound of a shovelling ***** as it fills in a grave and closes the ground
