thank you, Dove!
maybe it rates some work
to make it better, but that
it could be worse, i'll
probably leave it as is...

nope. i split the tanka into 2 poems,
to be read 3 different ways.
does it still seem to make sense to you?
it makes more sense to me now.
but, that may be delusion...

I enjoyed it more when it didn't make obvious sense; it required a leap of faith (excuse the term) to understand it. But that's just me.

you think it's 'obvious' now???
what comes to mind for me,
is, "too clever by half".
