a miko (巫女)
is a shinto shrine maiden. her jobs include driving out evil spirits,
performing sacred dances, preserving life, and bringing happiness to
man.
a haori (羽織)
is a japanese hip-length kimono jacket. 巫女
羽織 are white and often have red ribbon
embroidered around the sleeves.
hakama (袴)
are long, skirt-like pants traditionally worn by japanese men and
women. 巫女 袴
are red and are held up by a bow.
oni (鬼)
are demons from japanese folklore. they come in a wide variety of
forms, and many have the ability to shape-shift. 鬼
are genarally hostile to humans.
last night, i was attacked by an 鬼
who was disguised as a little 巫女.
she pulled open her 羽織
to expose
a hollow, yawning mouth where her chest
should have been
jagged, broken ribs for teeth
spittle of blood and gore splattering
onto her 袴,
and then
she ate me.
