one step back
an hour of being the dummy

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.
