Among the Broken Ones

9. Magic

When I receive messages
from unknown numbers
I delete them at once
for I remember the
look in your face
when I said
I haven‘t read
your last message.

Should it haunt me all the time?

I once believed in magic
and destinies
and whatever they sell
on tv nowadays
and maybe I was right
about magic;
for it was your last message
and like a rabbit put on a magician's hat
you
(poof!)
were gone.
