with everything on my to-do list

VII.IV
Climbing down into her heavy-fragranced flat
reminds her that she needs to clean the place
before her flatmates are from Christmas back
or else her sloven life will bring disgrace.
But before she cleans the flat she must adhere
to the plan she thought of when she was outside
to sweep away the snow 'til roof is clear
and suspicion of her crime can be denied.
The penalty for theft may be severe
but concealment of a death would be much worse
she can't let the authorities interfere
as Herald of the End she must come first.
