Can you follow this? It's an old story, so...

           An Ancient Dance
 
The man spots a downtrodden beast
at an awkward party. He asks if
she’ll come sit at his table.
 
Somewhat dazed,
she shakes her head but goes on
sending him sweet smiles.
 
Naïve about her mixed message,
she suspends herself the same way
she hangs on to a broken clock.
 
He is a wolf—
looking at her with granite eyes,
nodding, backing up, propping himself
 
against a wall where he can plot
a new way to close in.
The woman remains a sheep
 
in the middle of a daydream
unable to break the spell. Still, she plays
a star part in an ancient dance.

For me the man is a distraction (beginning and end).  The energy rests in S3.  The broken clock cries out for unpacking.

If you need the story (since it's an ancient one), perhaps his appearance is a cameo.  

I thought the man was going to be a type of Jesus.  Rats.

Cameos are good.
