poetic succession

There is always a poem after this one;
the understudy to today’s centre stage:

This poem however, is never unimportant,
it is as individual as the poem that follows;
many written poems have unwritten forbears-
each poem is breathed and lived; rarely spoken.

The panorama of this poem is found in one place –
the window of its reader’s imagination;
so each poem is the beginning point
of new journeys that we join with the poet.

Another poem is birthing at the end of this one;
there may be several, in fact, awaiting their turn.
