  • lucille clifton i am running into a new yeari 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 thirthysix, even thirthysix / but i am running into a new year, and i beg what i love / and i leave to forgive me
