Note

by joel abel - Taurus

it felt like a punch
in the gut.

like the time his mother said
"your sister is missing"

or the time they said
"peppaw had a stroke"

but this lacked the capacity to 
mean as much as either.

after all, it was just
a note on the kitchen table.

and all it said was 
goodbye.
