Complete Destruction by William Carlos Williams
Williams's poem is very short, and his complete destruction references his cat. He destroys or gets rid of everything related to the cat, and even the fleas on the cat die off. It is the complete erasure of his memories of the cat, and it now only lives in his mind rather than in reality. Some things must be removed like this; otherwise, they linger, grow back, and only cause more problems.
Obviously, the cat can't physically grow back, but his love of it could.
