This is a rewrite of a haiku I just stumbled upon from November of 2001.

This poem has been published in my book an inkling hope: select poems, available in Kindle and paperback formats. Out of consideration for those who have purchased a copy, I have removed it from this post and online viewing in general.

I didn’t at all understand the haiku back in 2001, a lifetime ago. I somewhat cringed as I opened the file to have a look at what might be inside, thinking, “Oh haiku. Right. Like I even knew what those were eleven years ago.”

But I surprised myself. I may not have known what they were back then, but it would seem that I at least had an inkling. It was immediately apparent that I had something almost worth blogging, but after a few edits, this became obvious.
