the safe

she had an ear
for wall safes.
bank vaults.
pulling back her long
hair
to listen against
the thick walls
for the click click click.
with her delicate fingers
she would turn
the dials
and open up any cold
box
holding jewels,
cash,
bonds and stocks.
there was no safe she
couldn't crack, no door
or heart
she couldn't get to,
until will met,
and that was that.
