On a ship, the shrouds are the heavy lines that hold the mast up. A sailor climbs them to work the sails. He trusts his weight to them in a gale. And when his watch is finally over, the sailmaker sews him into his own hammock, drops a round shot at his feet, and puts the last stitch through the nose to be sure. Same word. Same cloth. The thing that held you aloft is the thing that takes you down.
The hood is the shape of that last stitch. Hammered outside, black as a hold inside. Under the cowl, a skull and crossed bones worked in a knot that does not come undone.
Small on the ear. Heavy in what it says.
What holds you up will lay you down.
