MIDNIGHT IN A KATAYAMAZU GRAVEYARD

MIDNIGHT IN A KATAYAMAZU GRAVEYARD - 

Hearn would have liked it.

STARRY NIGHT IN A KATAYAMAZU GRAVEYARD

IN A KATAYAMAZU GRAVEYARD

starry starry night
not even a semi stirs
“Ghostly,” whispers Hearn

ONIWA HOTEL: CHA-CHA

Oniwa Hotel ~

flirtatious laughter

a band playing the cha-cha

can you hear them too?

ONIWA HOTEL: STRANGE SHAPES

Oniwa Hotel ~ 

strange shapes through the glass

a faint moaning down the hall

just ghosts making love

ONIWA HOTEL

ONIWA HOTEL ~ 

oniwa hotel

tanuki and spiders wa

now the only guests

KUMANO SHRINE: HEAVENLY MAIDEN

Kumano Shrine ~ 

heavenly maiden

her flute playing for eons

only ghosts listen

KUMANO SHRINE: Ceiling Art

Kumano Shrine ~

faded shapes above

visions of centuries past

from Hearn’s ghostly world
