the peak's clouds that autumn wind

the wild geese too, as I go,
can be heard crying above

Commentary: Book Five Autumn Poems II 506

Headnote: "Among poems matched with Chinese verses, on 'traveling a mountain road in autumn.'"
This is the tenth and final poem of the wild goose sequence. The geese too cry as they go, bearing on their wings the clouds of the peak that the autumn wind swirls about the traveler's sleeves. According to the headnote, it was composed on the topic "traveling a mountain road in autumn" in a contest matching Chinese verses with waka.
The author was a son of Fujiwara no Mitsutaka who rose to Junior Second Rank and Minister of the Imperial Household. He served at the Poetry Office and was one of the compilers of the Shinkokinshū.
The scene is an autumn journey, on a mountain road crossing a cloud-hung peak.
The direct occasion was a contest matching Chinese verses and waka on shared topics, where the topic "traveling a mountain road in autumn" was set.

The first line gives the subject of "fukimaku" in the second line.
The second line means the wind swirls about the sleeves of one traveling the mountain road, showing the traveler of the topic.
The third line, "mine no kumo o," is hypermetric with six syllables, and refers to clouds hanging on the peak.
The fourth line depicts flying through the clouds as though hanging them on one's wings, the same conceit as "bearing the white clouds upon their wings" in 502.
In the last line, "mo" means "the geese too, along with the traveler," and "nari" is the auxiliary of inference from sound. The clouds of the peak that swirl about the traveler's sleeves are borne on the wings of crying geese as well, placing traveler and geese side by side on the same autumn journey through the mountains. Sharing "wings" and "autumn wind" with 505, the poem closes the goose sequence by overlaying the geese crossing the sky with a traveler on the road below.
