The Bookkeeper of Solitary Emptiness

I kept ledgers, not promises.

They called it love, but I called it arithmetic. Mrs. Sinico pressed my hand to her cheek, and I subtracted myself from the equation. I kept my books balanced, my room orderly, and my soul neatly accounted for. Then she died, and the final column refused to add up.

What I'm Into: bank ledgers, silent concerts, Dublin evenings, the weight of omission, Mrs. Sinico's last letter
