write himself between the lines
and not at the end of them

forget himself between the writing
and not at the end of them

greet himself between the poems
and not at the end of them

want himself between the shelves
and not at the end of them

put himself between the poets
and not at the end of them

find himself between the covers
and not at the end of them

a poet shouldn't impose himself between,
at the end,

not even at the start
