VII.II
Around her, mould is slowly growing dense
and she hopes it's not because of her
that she has not become apprentice
to the pestilential angel's curse.
She gets the plastic bags left in the kitchen
for they resist the call to decompose
but looks inside and chooses ditching
of the untinned food which won't oppose
the influence redeemed by angel presence
for the scent of mould now fills her nose;
the recovered jar of copper pennies
have all turned black and lost their blush of rose.
