She always finishes things
this was always said about me
as a child
in a fairy godmother proclamation
that was at first gratifying
and then burdensome
to have to live up to
and at times I have tugged at it
but it is barbed and buried deep
and won’t be rooted out
quite so easily
pulling at it now
it has grown into my flesh
has become some form of self harming
but even so
I am thinking of
unfinishing this
nothing remembered is ever finished
