the love lock

some locks expire,
the key
no longer turns,
the latch
won't release.

no matter how hard you
pound
or beg
or kick,
the door won't open.

is this some metaphor
for love
that you once thought
was for keeps?

by george i think
it is. but i'll spare you
the cliche

that rust, like soured
love, never sleeps.
