Every 10th word

Among the shadows where two streets cross, 
A lurks in the dark and waits 
To move when a policeman heaves in view 
Smiling a smile from a face 
Painted over haggard bones desperate eyes,
All night she offers passers-by what they  
Of her beauty wasted, body faded, claims gone, 
And no takers.
