the shadow of a bird
through stained glass

experts explain the results
they failed to predict

April sunlight
April sunlight
the iridescence of starlings
on a dumpster
"Iridescence" isn't a word that often pops into my mind, but that's precisely what happened in the moment.

long night
long night
come on out mouse
we're alone
Shiki Kukai, April 2010.Kigo "emerging animals." This is a spring kigo. Mine cheats a bit. A mouse emerging from its hole is not what the organizers had in mind, and, in fact, the kigo is "long night (winter)." But once this popped into my head, it wouldn't go away, so I had to let it out. Just like the mouse, I guess.
