on Yasukuni Jinja

flea market
Jesus upturning the temple tables
materialism
the falling flowers
petals descending
fluttering on history
ritual
new aberration
to old order
a smooth-skinned sumo
spins a stick in deference to tradition
lovers drink from the moat
spring has come
to the castle grounds
a worn man leans
in his wheelchair
does he see this as hope?
is this really where their souls have come
back from the wreck of foreign battles.
