Santōka Alarm
日本語EN

i come back down the middle of the moonlight

tsukikage no mannaka o modoru

Sōmokutō · One Man Within (Gochū hitori)

Notes

The moonlight is spread across the whole road, and he walks back down the very center of it. There is no unease in the night path — rather it is like a flower-strewn walkway lit by the moon. He does not say where he is returning from; only the moonlight lights his steps.
