Where Shiki Dwelt

Betty Arnold and Tei Matsushita Scott seen through the shoji at Shiki's memorial,
on the trip to Japan in 2007.
Shiki's narrow sickbed (so close to the floor!) is reconstructed nearby.


beneath the trellis
old women sit patiently--
wisteria buds
  
Betty Arnold

the tree cut,
dawn breaks early
at my little window
  
Shiki
