Continuing the Goshûishû Love poems:
Having been forgotten by a man, she bundled up some clothing and sent it to him, writing this on the leather belt fastening it.
nakinagasu
namida ni taFede
taenureba
Fanada no obi no
kokoti koso sure
|

This weeping flow
Of tears is too much to bear, and
We are done, so
A broken pale-blue belt
Would express my feelings.

GSIS XIII: 757
