The thief ...


ぬすびとに
とりのこされし
まどのつき

nusubito ni
torinoko sareshi
mado no tsuki

left behind
by the thief
the moon in my window

(Ryokan)


I got home from work late tonight, and couldn't find my laptop, a little Macbook Air that I was sure I left on my coffee table. Then I noticed my plasma tv was bashed in ... the thief wasn't capable of figuring out how I had mounted it on my wall, and must have become frustrated. Another laptop was also missing ... yeah, my Macbook Pro is also gone, as well as a Nintendo Wii gaming system (and the associated games).

Other things around the house seem to have been left behind ... including the moon, so bright and round tonight.
