an un-even sidewalk

first i saw her walking down the street
un-even this sidewalk breaking her stride
i thought till the glance she spared for such as i
caught and held as she passed unhurried by
for an instant i saw the maelstrom
of twisting thoughts round yet round
her head it spun twisting down
enfolding her in cloud of darkest design
shrouding her deeper within its gloom
holding her sacred of her doom
of this storm were memories
flash on by and with a flick
freshly cut her defenses be
i watched this happen with each break of stride
yet proud still she walked on...
