VI.VI
Traditionally depicted as a 'he'
by men who thought important posts
unfit for woman's hands, especially
the angels leading Heavenly hosts.
Pestilence, while also known as Plague
or Pollution in hereafter years
had, by very definition, vague
allusions to their gender, represented fears
of populations wiped by ills of God's decree
caused by bodies left unburied by
the march of Christianity
which saved the common folk to die.
