Small but violent temblor last night. Reminds me of eleven years ago today...
Giant hands
Once again shake me awake
From the peace of dreams.
A toothless rice seller
Squats beside the temple wall
Laughing at the rain.
Full moon rises unseen.
Not even Kannon's thousand arms
Can hug all who grieve tonight.
On the turntable: Ryan Adams, "29"
On the nighttable: Nanao Sakaki, "Inch by Inch: 45 Haiku by Issa"
