Her quick undulations slice halos of
illumination, forcing rays to rest
in the shadowed valley beneath each curve.
The limelight pools in her womanly nest.
This girl, with flesh sooner femme than child, moves
in a manner akin to goddesses
and whores. Each provocative gesture proves
her more woman than woman possesses.

power from the rhythm that emanates
from darkened halls in these urban temples
of Gotham souls. Young sacrifice, she waits
for a sound unique and everlasting:
the low even beat of an angel's wing.
