TSUKIMI THOUGHTS (The Japanese Moon Viewing Festival)




TSUKIMI THOUGHTS

white light through the glass
kitty lying on his back
time for a moon bath

white light through the glass
cat meditates in the beam
becoming more strange

tsumiki evening
bunny and panda watching
different angles*


(*Aoi and I are on different sides of the Pacific tonight)

KUMANO SHRINE: Kwaidan




Kumano Shrine ~ 

     “I should like, when my time comes, to be laid away in some Buddhist graveyard of the ancient kind, so that my ghostly company should be ancient, caring nothing for the fashions and the changes and disintegrations of Meiji.”
Lafcadio Hearn, "Kwaidan"
