祝🐍巳年 切り絵動画 ヤマタノオロチ  Happy New Year of Snake Recitation Film"Kojiki (Ancient Japanese Legends),Yamatano-orochi-The Eight-Headed Serpent"" 

  昨年末、突然、腰痛に見舞われた。慣れぬ庭作業で歩行困難に。起床時などは着替えさえ出来なかった。それが始まったのが、ちょうどこの朗読動画に着手した頃である。 「蛇(オロチ)が降りてきた!」  これは退治せねば、と、三週間の格闘と度重なる「書き出し失敗」の末、完成したのが正月二日だった。お陰で、現在はなんとか歩けるまでに痛みは緩和している。悠久の魂魄が息づく神話と対峙するのは容易でない。恐るべし「言霊」である。 At the end of last year, I was suddenly struck by lower back pain. Unfamiliar garden work left me unable to walk. At times, like when getting up in the morning, I couldn’t even get dressed. This all began right around the time I started working on this reading video. “The serpent (Orochi) has descended!” I thought, I must vanquish it. After three weeks of struggle and countless "export failures," I finally completed it on January 2nd. Thanks to that, the pain has now eased to the point where I can walk somehow. Facing myths where eternal spirits reside is no easy task. The power of "kotodama" (the spirit of words) is truly fearsome. 太鼓朗読 古事記「八俣の大蛇」 Taiko Recitation: Kojiki "Yamata no Orochi–The 8-Headed Serpent" JPN Read/ENG Subs

Kamikaze Toasts

bY POETAQ

except for the haiku 'How pitifully' by Matsuo Basho


How pitifully

Beneath the warrior’s helm

A cricket’s weeping

—Basho,1689


Divine wind blew strong

In thirteenth century’s storm

Mongol’s fate undone 


Time passes still cruel

World War II’s fierce battles

Kamikaze’s fall   


Now divine drones soar

Unmanned weapons claim human tolls

Civilization?  


Lending foes & friends

To merchants, death & interest

Same amusement, ends? 


Sirs in the salon

Satanic saints raise their toasts

“Voulez-vous Encore?”(“Would you like more?”)
