SUBTRACTION We never yelled in sooty, baleful tongues More a gradual, unseen weathering Were slow to anger Enjoyed playing hard-to-get Stop groping me, youd say, so hot, giggling I didnt know what you meant From opposite poles we connected Kinaesthetically, made fire but burned out under the weight of the unsaid The shape of your lips drove me crazy and when you smiled - always self-consciously - nothing else mattered I could have watched you paint scenes from the Bible until the sun set on forever Yet for all this were we ever really together? God. Children. Me, the jealous third party in this unholy trinity Was not the together Id romanticized Mathematicians have now turned love into a science: Using factors within relationships to predict outcomes We were a living law of diminishing returns; Our attraction became subtraction and now, after fifteen years we have successfully subtracted each other from our lives equation altogether Four seasons hence, three hundred kilometres apart Are we not bound still? By two children in blood, and By a vow made before God? My best days are those when I dont hear from you and my worst also.
