RESOLUTIONS
Stephanie Penwortham

Resolutions made as the clock tolls
twelve and pronounces the death
of the old year and the birth
of the new.

Resolutions made while gazing up
at the sharp delicacy of  
a china angel reigning over
her christmas tree.

Resolutions made through a 
rose-coloured mist 
as paper hats slip down 
over blurry eyes.

Resolutions made to impress,
to amuse,to placate.
Resolutions made to be broken.
