Paul Brookes writes

let go
 

I am cold toast
left in the rush
I am unused loo paper
left on wet floor
I am spilt shampoo
left in empty bath
I am a crisp new
P45.
I am a warm hand
in my child’s warm hand 
I am needed.
I see that now.

[In England a P45 is what your employer gives you when he sacks you]
