GSIS IX: 503

On seeing fisherfolk burning salt when he was on the road to Kumano, and felt particularly unwell.

旅の空夜半のけぶりとのぼりなばあまのもしほ火たくかとやみん

tabi no sora
yowa no keburi to
noborinaba
ama no mosiobi
taku ka to ya min
Should into my travel’s skies
One night as smoke
I rise,
The fisherfolk seaweed salt fires
Kindling—would it appear so, I wonder?

Love and Smoke, for a Fifty Poem Sequence at the residence of the Lay Priest Prince of the Second Order.

うらみじな難波のみつにたつけぶり心からたくあまのもしほ火

uramiji na
naniwa no mitsu ni
tatsu keburi
kokoro kara taku
ama no moshiobi
I cannot hate her, can I?
From Naniwa harbour
The smoke arising is
Kindled in my heart as
Fisherfolk’s seaweed-salt fires…[i]
