Release From Debt

At the end of every seven years
thou shalt make a release

Deuteronomy 15:1 KJV

At the end — the utmost end
the place you can't go any further,
the sacred end, at the fullness
of seven rotations of a single year
prepare, get ready to open your hand
to fling away—perhaps to forget
or even to forgive debts owed

Thou shalt make a release
of what was taken away
and can't be retrieved

Then shake
the bitter remains away
and stand naked
and loosen the grip
of memory

Can't decide which I love the most! Fling away, forget, forgive - stand naked and loosen the grip of memory!
Wow! You're on a roll!
