Resolution
by A. Gautam
The new year begins on a set of old promises.
I look at my list crumpled in my fist.
A carefully torn page, inside my wishful cage—
It is the same yellow as the year before,
Twelve things that could change my life.
I can see the cursive letters when I close my eyes.
There my past remains, here my future lies.
I resolve again, to give my old ambitions a refreshed try.
