In Lecto

Edward dies — and the tapestry, unable to help itself, shows the funeral first and the deathbed second. A funeral before a death, sung by the one voice that finds the reversal perfectly normal.

The Procession

Candlelit baroque, short and grave, the bier and eight bearers and the bells arriving ahead of the body.
