What does it mean,
“to let something go”?
It sounds like releasing a trout
or a bird with a healed wing,
but they can’t fly or swim
back to the life before.
Letting go is forgetting.
I know; I didn’t want to believe it, either.
But memory dies when it
lies down deep in the forest,
leaving no trail of crumbs.
Resonant words.
