Ghosting


When the ducks see me coming 
 Down the path beside their stream, 
They turn their backs 
 And paddle into the shadows — 
Which is what we all tend to do 
When approached by someone 
 We no longer feel we can trust: 
We tend, not to confront, but to hide: 
A ghosting that’s been triggered, 
Not by boredom, but betrayal…
