Letting Go

 

                                           

                                    

the economics of letting go

lately i've been thinking about

physical things and emotional things:

everything i have to carry.

i feel burdened with memories.

and the way i will hold on to

an item or thought

just in case

it will be of significance later.

i rehearse lines from a conversation had.

memories.

i never let anything gather dust.

because we never know if things

are going to be of

more or less

value in the future.

but lately i have stopped agonising over

the economics of letting go.

i am telling myself

it is okay to forgot.

i am making room for better things.

like light.

like nothing at all.
