locks
like a key
turned

falling like tumblers
the reign in drips
beauties receivership

I've been trying to eliminate similes

from my own writing, so perhaps this is why I stand a little at odds with this poem. Also, the mention of tumblers seems to jar with what is in general (at least in my mind) a less suburban setting. What I enjoy about this poem is it's concise imagery and brutally narrow shape.
