Hetaera

She meant to hetaera me,
and I meant to break her hetaera habit.
Which one of us led the dance?
I fell in a trance, but in doing so
snared her in her own game,
the cocoon of transformation.
If she would look closely, she'd see
her own dissatisfaction. But can she?
Or is she corrupted already?
