Adding and Subtraction

Count mother, father, sister, me.

Now subtract one.

Does it matter?

Divorce,

As common as my dried tears,

Becomes less ominous.

What was once so painful

Has grown numb.

The bomb you dropped

Has finally cooled.

Like a scar

The invisible pain is betrayed by a map.

Alas,

My layers are thin.
