Square Root


Girl in the corner.

Boy
Sprawled on the floor.

Between them
Imperfect numbers
Holding them apart.

He cannot ask.

She cannot say.

She would like
To write them off
Ignore them as they fall.

Spend the rest of her life
Facing that wall.

In denial.

He wants to
Ram them down her throat
Until she remembers
How to reignite.

He misses the spark.

Instead
They sit there.

More
Than their sum total.

Less than life.
