Thanks B. The explainer is one of my signatures with my poems. Especially with a tanka, I find a lot of readers appreciate knowing what I meant to convey. Granted this one shouldn't have been too difficult to interpret, but there were many layers. As for enterlocked, it's poetic license wordchemy. Appreciate you reading the piece. It's my first of this nature. I can see how launching into a story would be a good fit for future pieces like this when the inspiration hits again.
