VI.II


She wears of robe of petrol gleam

like oil spilled upon a lake of blood

and prisms cut from captured sunshine beam

reflected into honey-coloured mud.

The frightful thing surveys the council-painted walls

and where her gaze might linger, blooms black mould

which spreads and blooms, and every spore that falls

she knows will start to shoot despite the cold.

When full-circle brings to bear the lady's fateful gaze

she feels her body wracked with new disease

while sore break out upon her skin, she fears the end of days

has come for her at twenty years, through cracking lips says: "Please?"
