(yesterday’s prompt was to reference a non-Greco/Roman deity. I was thinking of yesterday’s poem and remembered this from the children’s parade at Oz-Asia Festival, Elder Park.)
Moon lantern festival, Adelaide.
children parade home-made lanterns,
glow-worming their way along the banks
of the Torrens.
a helium balloon lets go of its child
returns skyward like Kaguyahime.
i blink and it becomes Tsukuyomi,
a full moon.
