another beat poem

yellow cells dessicating, edges curling in
witless waving in wind, attached by a single suction, then 

letting go —

letting my hair go
letting my hairs grow
letting my toenails grow until they tear off on their own ragged
fingernails also
letting couture go
covering clothes’ stains strategically with clanking medallions
then letting jewelry (too heavy) go
letting bras go, underpants
letting what shows show
loose breasts
teeth, useless lips
roseacea cheeks

now let fluoxetine go, bupropion go
(stay giant Costco bottle of ibuprofen handfuls full)
coffee go, green tea
fish oil go, multi-vitamin
groceries go
sex go
people go
(friend go)
poetry go
job go
travel go
cast abroad go
broadcast go
npr world news go

old kitty go who let go combing her coat now matted with oil and dust, let go scratching her post, let go napping outside, covering her crap, let go muscle and teeth, good breath keeps purring

husband, let go|mother, let me go

cleaning go
bathing go
going to the gym go
going outside go
getting up out of bed…

fruitless unit, let

go
