Without Saying Goodbye
By George Cassidy Payne

There are some friends
who just go.
But we are not allowed
to talk about it.
I called for you.
I put posters up for you.
I checked Craigslist for
you. I still call for you.
And when I pull into
my driveway, I look
for you. Under the camper
or in a tree. I look for you.
Leaving my world without
saying goodbye.
