The geometry of lust

creates a non-equilateral triangle

where fractals of love
form and reform.

The ebb and flow of being with

and (being) without

long term desire.

When the calculus of jealousy

plays out in full,

dx over dy

differentiating her

with you and

you with me,

then the old slide rule(s)

(or rules slide)

and fractions become improper.

3/2 no longer functions,

and there’s nothing

to carry forward in time.

X and Y axis separate

and the triangle becomes

a line_________________________
