How to Leave without Saying Goodbye

Imagine you can vanish. You're a ghost

wrapped in meat; we all are.

Travel the world untethered. Float away,

ride an ectoplasmic wave.

Goodbyes tug you back, un-freeing.

Let go. Shed the guilt

of not letting them saying everything they needed to.

They had their chance.

They had their entire lives.

So did you.
