Giant Buddha, Kamakura, Japan, cast 1252 C.E., November 2010 |
drinking sencha,
i observe slurps
and smacks
as men consume
sustenance with sticks.
the cadence intensifies -
click, clank, tink!
japanese singing soup bowls
surround me,
deftly played by musicians
who signal
finality with
one
loud
orchestrated
belch.

Oh, to be in Japan again
thanks...
thanks, pat! japan was tremendous. i fell in love! when were you there and where?
You are welcome! I've been there several times. My wife is Japanese and most of her family is still there. That allows us to stay in houses most of the time instead of hotels! I could easily live there! I love it...
