lnhammer Written thinking of the Tatsuta River with the feeling that autumn departs.
Tatsuta River
where every year the colored
autumn leaves float by --
does its harbor mouth become
the anchorage of autumn?

Original by Ki no Tsurayuki. Another touch of leaves. Compare the use of this imagery with #293, and with the less-sophisticated #301.toshi-goto ni
