How do you know when a poem is finished?
A poem is never finished. It is only temporarily adequate to serve a current purpose. Sure, often I will feel confident in a poem I have produced, not desiring to make any changes, but after some time, a few years later maybe, I may have come across a better way to express myself or perhaps I scrap half of it and elaborate taking a different route, creating another version of itself. I think a poem can exist in multiples and that because they could never full be explored – because the avenues are endless – that a poem is never finished.
