The weather in the north land

None goes along this way but I,
This autumn eve.

Now being seen off,
now seeing off – the outcome:
autumn in Kiso.

autumn berries
This dark autumn
old age settles down on me
like heavy clouds or birds

weekly photo challenge: on the way
On and on I travel;
Though I fall and die, let it be
In fields of clover.

Within The Narrow Road to Oku, Basho shares his journey through prose as well as haiku… which seems to me to fit this week’s photo challenge: On the Way

wet with tears
I cannot speak of
Yudono, but see how wet
My sleeve is with tears.
