The Destiny of a Poem

The destiny of a poem
is to appear.
Like a fruit
The flower of a thought
Blossoms, then disintegrates itself
Knowing it serves a purpose
Larger than its appeal.
The writer’s job; simply
To reveal like a magician
A rabbit out of a hat,
And the reader’s; simpler
To pretend
The rabbit was not burrowed in
Trees made of magic.
Reader pretends the poem
didn’t already exist within.
