THE WILD BEAST GARDEN (1900) -- SHIKI






as evening comes across
Ueno Hill            
the woods grow dark and
wild beasts howl in
the wild beast garden              

Ueno yama                     
yū koekuruba                 
mori kurami                   
kedamono hoyuru           
kedamono no sono   
     



meerkats and shoebill,
resident at tokyo’s ueno zoo (est. 1882)
