solitary
standing removed
from all others
less than alluring
marked
with the ravages
of time
outwardly
these are the features
she indicates

years have passed
withdrawn
her doors
have remained
to ordinary men
her inner walls
remaining obtuse
to them
undeserving
were their observances

her interior walls
are stirring
staying concealed
wonder is alive
inwardly she primes
her time has come
she is select
to one man

that man looks
at her features
he is awestruck
his eyes are forced
seemingly bewildering
her aspect

he draws closer
her structure
he calculates
baffling entrancing
she assumes power
her vestibule
opens
to engage
with him
