Her only gift was knowing people almost by instinct, she thought, walking on
‘You will protect me,’ she said. ‘With my life,’ he replied.
There was unquestionably a job vacancy here
The darkness did not leave her, but it shuffled to one side
That night the emperor dreamed of love
I am a person of strange and varied experience
