47. Victory of Persistence

she would be here now
had he let her unlock heart’s door
but he chose to slap her hand away
each time it turned the key

496 times in twelve years
her growing fingers
flailed
reached
groped
stroked
twisted
tricked
manipulated…
but he chose to slap her hand away
each time it turned the key

And so, as normal,
persistence won,
and he no longer slapped her hand away

497.never.came.
