Myogo was alive at the time of chugen but

became a resident of the Nine Fields this year.

Last year I went to Kyoto and sobbed.

This year I moved to the shore of a lake and a river.

My grief multiplies as I move through space and seasons.

My wandering south and north stops for a while;

here and there on the valley stream, I pick floating weeds.

In the distance, I visualize the Ki River bank.

Monks perform an urabon ceremony after cleaning the temple.

The chanting of sad voices resounds to the red banners.
