# The Lady

**Подражание Броку, на самом деле, потому как вдохновлялся его Five Ways to Kill a Man.**

She's sliding just an inch above The stone floor of someone's old Estate. The dusk highlights the bluff Upon which all the winds in summer blow cold And dusty paintings of a pier and wharf; To that we'll add the view of half a world From that small window perched upon the wall. She walks and cloud of dust forms up behind In wicked manner of a broken doll Which's left forgotten, torn apart and blind Until the mistress deems it fair to call Or 'till she just forgets. But that is fine By dust, for it's a loyal servant mostly left Unspoken to and for and by and of. Besides, It stands yet unaccused - for now - of theft, The guilt though, frankly, spills over its eyes Where not a single being dares to look. Bereft Of purpose as the Lady hurries past, it hides. Just for another century or two, or less, Or, bound as it is, for an eternity of silent And grey self-analysis and digress. For that they both have undisputed talent. She's got a lot to say and to confess In. Mayhaps in a while, A soul kind enough approaches the doors To find the warmth among the autumn night. In vain. A proud and noble Lord And flea-ridden peasant all alike Nor even King's Own Guards with steeds and swords Shall never see the rusty gates thrown wide. The only sign that they may hope to get Is rather simple, albeit still enough. The Lady sings to them. The scene is set, It's dusk and manor and the windy bluff. Her voice comes out weak, but chill as ice. Before you enter, reconsider. Twice.
