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.

Mmmm A poem about poetry...it's sort of incestuous isn't it?
