How Proud is the Peacock?

How proud is the peacock,unfolding his fan?

How many doors are locked?I will enter, if I can.

You see me as a peacock;my beauty broken down.

I grow old, my body mocksI will not go to town.

So I see you looking down at me, perched from above.

Take this longing, broken beauty; for the one you love.
