Watching the Moonby Izumi Shikibu
translated by Jane Hirshfield
and Mariko Aratami
Watching the moon
at dawn
solitary, mid-sky,
I knew myself completely,
no part left out.
Thoughtful, lovely imagery. I've provided a couple of links to read more.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izumi_Shikibu,http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/omori/court/izumi.html
