  1. I can see the moon rising above the barrier. My point of view of the town immediately went to "bird's eye".

    after all the mourners
    have left
    the scent of hawthorn

  2. Wow! Beautiful imagery David!
    Moon-watching was one of the 3 classic aesthetic experiences of classical Japan.
    You have captured and transformed your vision into an almost black-and white portrait of the scene. But there is such poignancy and poetry in this verse. How many are awake to the flooding light, and the blessing that is the levee. I really love this poem!

    Thank you for sharing it David.
