Etc. - Question of the Week #19: Favorite Poems
Lucille Clifton
I Am Running into a New Year
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
from Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir 1969-1980

Etc. - 50 Word Challenge
Late nights. Sneaking into dark rooms. She can't hear her child's sleeping breath with her heart beating in her ears. If only her husband were home. She hates the sneaking into rooms at night, hoping not to wake them, her hand slipped under pillows. She dreads playing the Tooth Fairy.
