" Her eyes are glazed with the terror of understanding.
The pallor of sudden knowledge, has settled on her face.
A paralyzing consciousness of her entrapment has turned
her body into a wedge of fear. Wracked by dark foreboding
she pits the force of newborn moral responsibility, against
the soul-destructive lure of the senses.
