Japanese bathing
cornerstones a home
let the lanterned gallery envelop you
the closet, the bedroom’s lantern
mementos of a life in Japan
find their places made
a genkan seat noses through
(profound gateway)
lantern glow melds skylit datsuijo
(changing room)
​steps through
plaster’s light
the ofuro fills
(soaking tub)
cedar perfumes steam
sudare sieves day to dusk
(bamboo screen)
when you contemplate
cedar shrines
a small garden
Rinse!
daydrenched shower
swims you in
deep blue
