“i am running into a new year / and i beg what i love and / i leave to forgive me” — Lucille Clifton

I AM RUNNING INTO A NEW YEAR
Lucille Clifton
i am running into a new year and the old years blow back like a wind
that i catch in my hair like strong fingers like all my old promises and it will be hard to let go of what i said to myself about myself
when i was sixteen and twentysix and thirtysix even thirtysix but
i am running into a new year and i beg what i love and i leave to forgive me
