redoubt

hoard and hide
resplendent in your redoubt
no vestal virgin belted up
for chastity and patriarchy
more well defended than you
all your thoughts safeguarded
emotions well moated
and your complaint that
I never really knew you
shouted from behind portcullis
as though it were my fault
that you let no one in
