Love Equation
Hazel Clayton Harrison

math was simple then.

you plus me equalled one.

with you, i became whole.

i understood the meaning
of yin and yang,
cause and effect,
earth and sky.

don't good things come in pairs?

then you left.

just when i thought i had
it all figured out. now
two minus one equals

nothing.

no matter how many
time i subtract.
