#52: The Gnat's Suitcase

She's never packed for a breakup before.

Underwear, she guesses,
a toothbrush. She's not good at this
at the best of times,
and it's not exactly roomy.

She folds in a spare pair of wings,
crushing them, but she's past caring.
She hasps it, bundles out the back door
before he gets home

in search of new ghosts.
