half finished basement
the time was well past
assembled sibling team
to clear their home
accumulated metaphors
of sixty years ongoing
shed for the new
let go
let go
odours of their life
and ours
stirring deepest mind
disinfectant and decay
dinky toys and building blocks
dust and musty papers
let go
let go
matted dog hair
antique heart things
twenty tons of stuff
boxes of events
boxes of boxes
what were you thinking
let go
let go
unfinished walls
cans of full paint
eroded life plans
what you don't free
dragged away
by loved ones
let go
let
go.
