This is the second month of the year I turn thirty-seven.
Already the weather is warming in southeast Texas, rushing

I'll look over my head and the elm will be leafed out,And then it will be summer. And probably I'll be working ( Read more... )

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
