Kyoto. 06/04/07

So many things are flavoured, or taste of Green Tea. Do they have Green Tea flavoured water?

The Japanese see seafood and say, "oishi," delicious, and all they have to do is take it out of the water, and eat it, raw, like an apple plucked from a tree. Imagine if a cow walked the fields of Devon wrapped in a bun covered in relish. The food comes straight from the sea onto a plate.

Underneath an arch of cherry blossom trees
The upturned floodlights
Form a roof of white leaves
Dappled with holes of dark sky.

There seems to be constantly amplified shouting in the background. At the temple, from cars in the street and somewhere in the distance from where I am now, on the steps of a house in Kyoto.
