Nice poem, keep up the good work!

"releasing/ a clutch of regret" is nice.
"Silken forgetfulness releasing a clutch of reget" sounds like the sweet sigh of contentment. What has been has been.
I feel the tension in my shoulders relaxing just saying these words out loud to myself.

And the picture really brought back the memories for me. The house where I grew up had milkweed all along the border between our yard and a neighboring cornfield. I haven't seen milkweed in years, so this really struck me.
