[Edvard Munch, Moonlight, 1895 @nasjonalmuseet] the moon in the night sky, reflected in a pillar of moonlight over water, foreground of trees and an undulating coastline

Dew whitens into frost from this night onward
The moon still shines brightest back home.

露從今夜白
月是故鄉明。

-Tu Fu (712-770), from 'Thinking of My Brothers on a Moonlit Night' 杜甫 月夜億舍弟

[Edvard Munch, Moonlight, 1895 @nasjonalmuseet]

A black cat sits
licking a white paw,
content, on the roof
of my neighbor's
snow-free car.

White green lotus leaf
Subtle veins of paradise
Where light comes in
When the pierced orb hardens
Wind chimes a looking glass

December 8th and February 8th in west Japan are known as 'Koto-osame' (御事納め), a good day to finish something, and 'Koto-hajime' (御事始め), a good day for beginning something.
Rather confusingly (but unsurprisingly), this is the opposite in east Japan.

Spinning winter yarns,
elders huddle close for warmth
as a skein of geese
unravel the gray sky.

a celedon cup
in a museum behind glass
so far from home
in space and time still longs for
cupping hands, a drinker's lips

cold night blues -
an owl adds its cry
