I Am Running Into A New Year

after Lucille Clifton

I am running into a new year and I am not looking behind at the places and people and the way we both knew this year was the start of your leaving the quiet quitting the ebb of you I have grown tired of searching for the meaning in your words you say I’m thinking of you and the misnomer is not lost on me and there is too much water under this bridge like floods, and floods, and I have never wanted to be a dead girl winched from a river so I am running into a new year like leaving behind like unclenched fingers like letting go like leaves blown across time like the migration of shorebirds; the bringing in of a new song.
