Bloodstained Enamel
10. Prospect

They were both at the bottom end:
the spare and the extra one
they didn't need.

But at least he had some prospect,
some hope, some purpose
for which he'd been conceived:
she didn't even have that at all

And when he was gone, there was only
a small part of the hole she could fill.
