She will always be an unfinished poem.
Unfinished in the way she lives -
where passion collides with fear,
and potential and failure reside in the same home. There is this great risk,
a constant edge of falling apart
no matter what she pursues.
That’s her way through the world.
I wonder if she chooses this incompletion
or if fate carved it into her life
before she ever had a say.
And I wonder -
if I finish something she couldn’t,
would that mean her fate isn’t mine after all?

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only
Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice.
We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
