Post-rain Tokyo morning — heavy damp air, dry road, one ring of rain water

Rained before light.
Air only got heavier.

A single cut ring of bitter melon, seeds scraped out beside it

The bitter part
is the point.

夏日蝉语 Cicada Weather

Rain came before it was light. By seven the road was dry again.

Chushu, day six. Thirty-three degrees. The air got heavier, not cooler.

Nothing sweet was going to help.

Okinawa has eaten bitter in wet heat for a long time. Goya, tofu, egg, a little pork.

Salted the melon. Left the bitter in.

The bitter part is the point.

天没亮就下过雨。七点路面又干了。

处暑第六天，三十三度。空气重了，不凉。

甜的今天不管用。

冲绳人在湿热里吃苦瓜，很久了。苦瓜、豆腐、蛋，一点猪肉。

盐揉过，苦味留着。

苦的那一口才是正经事。
