Cutting the locks in Paris


countless couples pledged their undying love and commitment
with the single click of a shackle.
how fitting and when the
city officials arrived with hefty cutters,
I wondered whether at the moment the locks dropped into the water
below, lovers started bickering, uncomprending, helpless and confused.
they never even heard the splash, only the bridge
felt their nakedness.
