To let you go

Is to

Let go of it all

Entirely.

All of the possible life scenarios

The family we could’ve had

The family you would envision

The family i would say i didn’t want

The family that i was scared would turn into anything less than perfect.

To let go

Is to let go

Of a piece of myself

The mirror

That shattered but I did

Not

Try to mend

Try to glue back together

To only have a fragmented view through.

To let go

Was to pick everything else up around it

And sweep that mirror up

Diligently

And throw it

Into the bote de basura.

Not into a bag I could possibly

Hopelessly and carefully

Pick back out.

Straight in there.

Then, to let go was to mop

With a swiffer because

Everything — every piece of dirt sticks to that shit —

Peel the cover off and into the basura, it goes, too.

To let go

Is to sage right after

Put music on

To let go

Is to go about my day

As if nothing ever happened.
