Subject: Isn't That What We're Supposed To Do (an unfinished poem)

Isn't That What We're Supposed To Do

It suddenly makes sense to me
what she said
"I should never have let you start writing"
I see now how that opened up the veins

When Daddy died
I began
a new leaf
At 8 I must have heard
he was a writer
and isn't this what we're supposed
to do; take up, follow in footsteps

Maybe she wanted to shelter
me from uncovering
truths
that have ushered my life

But if this was my path
to follow
there could not be
a way for her to have stopped
me from my own footsteps
