There she sits: adorned in pearls, her black curls, laughing. The women, envious. The men, entranced. Her image, stained in red. There she kneels: her master, leaving; his hand sore, her face weaker. He leaves. His fist, stained in red. There she lays: another day's work, finished. The man, buttoning his shirt. Enters his wife screaming away passion. Their life together, stained in red. There she weeps: the troubles of the world, ****** onto her shoulders. She is ***** unwanted by all. A once beautiful creature. The harlot, stained in red.

The Harlot
There she sits: adorned in pearls, her black curls, laughing. The women, envious. The men, entranced. Her image, stained in red. There she kneels: her master, leaving; his hand sore, her face weaker. He leaves. His fist, stained in red. There she lays: another day's work, finished. The man, buttoning his shirt. Enters his wife screaming away passion. Their life together, stained in red. There she weeps: the troubles of the world, ****** onto her shoulders. She is ***** unwanted by all. A once beautiful creature. The harlot, stained in red.
