The following poem/excerpt is taken from The Crones Book of Words, by Valerie Worth, ISBN 0-87542-891-6, page 99.
In Summoning A Ghost
For conversation
With the dead,
Attend to ceremony;
Avoid the grave's
Annoyance, speaking
Always gently:
Earth, bone,
And winding sheet
Let this spirit
Come to me --
Yet send it
In peace
Or not at all
If it come,
It should be offered
White wine,
Not red;
and knelt to,
From pity.
A new page in my life ...
