did I answer the question?

I think I didn't really answer the question, "Why do I think the poem finished?"

When a poem doesn't seem finished it has a missing piece quality, a where's-the-rest-of-me gap. This is talking back from a result. I say it seems finished. I look at it and try to figure out why it seems finished where the other versions were unfinished.
