Today 今日

Today, さ, today is, ね
Wandering the Tokyo temples, よ
Ambling slowly with my brimming burdensome pack
In company with graveyards and trees ample with 柿
      (牡蠣じゃなくて柿)
Wending, in a leisurely and unsure fashion
through cold back-streets and gem-stone stores
To 大福、to よもぎもち
(一番美味いよ!)
To the historical shack, to Ueno (winter sweet potato roasted)
the lecture about myself given by an aged Japanese man
History museum , head hazy nap creeping in the quiet couch on my weary worn soles
And nearly crawling, back throbbing, to the ryokan
to the brown bathwater and old women cleansing and

then darkness よ
                       That was Tokyo
