more about my last post

I initially wrote the poem as a renga which is a Japanese poetry form that consists of haiku bridged by two line stanzas. The form is used as a conversation between multiple poets and was often practiced by Zen Buddhist monks.

obviously I am not multiple people, and the poem is no longer in renga form, but many of the stanzas remain in a informal haiku format.
