THE ROT

13 7 9
                                    

I am a spoiled thing,
A smudge or a smear
On the industrial cut-out.

A smell in the late milk
Or the green on your cheese
I am all that represents rot.

Untouchable- non-negotiable!

I am everywhere,
Unlike your memories or photographs
Unhidden and bare,
You cannot contain me- I am the truth-
I am the spoiled thing
I smell.
