quotient
She divided him into parts
little sums with deductions
She believed were additions
resolved him into simple elements
picking him apart like a straw man
until She could slip him into Her handbag
where he now lives with the clutter
in a broken-zipped side pocket
a husband’s paraphernalia
of lost keys and small change
mouse bones and a white feather
a leaking pen a paperclip
