Totoro

Caramel bars soothe throat.

On gradients, tunnels, splendid grass

Tapered bridges and bumpy gravel roads

Heaving under spider webs

Wandering cavernous into the woods

Terrific tunnel of trees

A haunted house---dust bunnies’ refuge

Pitch black from bow of rain when eyes dim

With dribs of acorn like squirrel’s nutriment

Shadows burying nuts in the alleyway

When minute sprouts breed, whispered a clandestine

Passport to the forest unfastens a mystic ingress

Enchanted camphor tree

Giant Totoro in a bus stop with a leaf umbrella

Poured a present swathed in bamboo leaves with dragon whiskers

Bursting of magic nuts and seeds

Frolicking an ocarina on moonlit nights

A delightful escapade begins.
