OLD YEAR OUT/NEW YEAR IN
***
The old year began
as defiance—
as the fury of a girl, caged,
who shattered gilded bars—
mindless of the shrapnel—
and made herself a ruin.
From the shards,
she pieced herself together
and when jagged edges
unwittingly drew blood,
she dipped a pen
and wrote herself anew.
Now, into the new year
strides a mosaic of a woman
who sees in her reflection
a person unknown
and revels in the prospect
of discovery.
