For Hannah Moore's Yūgen - a Community Renga

Sheets of aged hard bound leather
Preserved for you, dear

Author's Notes: The brilliant mind of Vocal creator Hannah Moore inspired this Haiku. The Haiku stands on its own but was written to take its place in the Renga.
"Renga is a collaborative progressive poem ... join us! You just need to pick up where the last person left off, following an alternating format of 5,7,5 and then 7,7 syllable counts and linking your stanza to the last." -- Hannah Moore
Click the link to read the collaborative poem created thus far by Hannah Moore, John Cox, Teresa Renton, Rachel Deeming, Paul Stewart, Mike Singleton-Mikeydred, me, Heather Hubler, D.K. Shepard, Cathy Holmes, Sonia Heidi Unruh, Dana O. Crandell, and others? Maybe you? Cannot wait to see what comes next!
This Haiku, "Preserved," is intended to follow Dana's 7,7 "Acceptance."

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
