My favorite kind of holes in roads are where the hole opens into a pipe or some other space, so all you see is just a void open to the road surface. It's probably just a pipe, but who's to say it's not an opening to a subterranean tunnel system, or a portal to another space?

Also, want to mention that if you want to buy a physical copy of my chapbook, I have less than 10 copies less, and I am not planning a second print-run.

In my defense, my Japanese handwriting is much better a year later.

Found out today that the Watertown Free Public Library has cataloged and made available the copy of the zine edition of my chapbook that I made as a 2024 Watertown Zine Fest special. You can find it in their zine collection on the second floor.

朝寒や赤い葉脈燃え盛る

(Asasamu ya akai yōmyaku moesakaru)

The morning chill—
Red veins of leaves
Burn brightly

From my chapbook, Matcha and Birds:

別の朝またまだ家に鳥かまう

Betsu no asa
Mata mada ie ni
Tori kamau

"Another morning
Again still at home
The birds keep me company"

曇りの日強電線に鵜のは列

Kumori no hi kyōdensen ni u no wa retsu

A cloudy day
On a power line
A line of cormorants
