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  twenty-six and thirty-six  even thirty-six but  i am running into a new year  and i beg what i love and  i leave to forgive me
