You in your yukata, with a pampas grass hairpin

Pinching the neck of the hot sake carafe

Asking if I'd like another cup

You're strangely seductive

I sit cross-legged in my own way

Your cheeks and ears are bright red

"Ah, how elegant," I say

Trying to compose a haiku

Turning off all the lights in the room

The scent of your hair after the bath is so sweet

Was it a waxing crescent moon?

It's been a long time

Since I last looked at the moon

I've become completely drunk

Entranced by your lap pillow

I've drunk far too much

It seems I'm too far gone to even hold you . . . . . . . . . . . . .

*Obana -> The ears of pampas grass. An old name for pampas grass. Atsukan -> The practice of drinking sake warmed to about 50°C. Kanzashi (Hairpin), Agura (Sitting cross-legged)
