Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
i am running into a new year
and the old years blow back
like a wind
that i catch in my hair
like strong fingergs 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
