The Devil's Work

                              Sweet Jane had a                               voice like an aged                               angry mule                               and the figure of a                               tuber root well                               cooked.                               But they loved her                               everyone for                               the comfort                               of her touch                               upon the oddities each                               had thought                               unknown.                               Then she married                               one of coldness much                               beyond the human                               kind                               and he killed her                               with a look of blank                               disdain.                               Have you done now                               Sweetly Jane said the                               devil to her soul.                               Have you done now                               healing wounds not                               your own?                               But she hadn't                               and she healed him                               with a sweeping touch                               of hand                               and the devil's work is                               ever simply                               done.
