VII.I


The disappearing angel leaves her reeling

wondering if she merely had a waking dream

but her hand is holding tight the vial and feeling

that nothing here is quite as it has been.

It seems like churlish new beginnings

to merely carry out her plans of morn;

to rob the empty flat and take the winnings

into town to find what  she can pawn. 

A final look around for further takings

it is worth the effort to remove the telly?

the metaphoric clock is ticking, making

warning sounds over her hungry belly.
