ghosting

ghosting is the new way

of breaking up.

just disappear. no word. no mail,
no nothing.

into the wind we all go without
a sound.

it's easier that way.
the coward's way out.

what you thought was real,
is not.

you can put your hand through it.
the apparition
of love
and affection.

nothing drags on. it's the guillotine
the quick hanging.

the chair.

and off you go, another ghost
without a place
or soul
to haunt.
