She stated to call things beautiful…

She started to call things beautiful which weren't
Like this whole rotten patch on the table
It was really a symbol of the whole world's decaying
But she called it beautiful and relished the word as she said it.

In fact, it was as though she were saying the word
For the first time. The mold on the table
Danced in response to the freshness of language
The house fell apart into a garden of spores
The girls were overjoyed that there was accuracy
In the fables she told.
