There is no provision for secession,

Therefore the US Constitution is silent on the subject so it is not unconstitutional for a state to secede.

of course it is, if the right existed there would have been a provision made for it in the Constitution.

The Union was intended to be a more perfect Union then the Articles of Confederation, not a loose collection of sovereign colonies.
