Mukogawa no mio o hayami to akagoma no agaku tagichi ni nurenikeru kamo

武庫川の水脈を早みと赤駒の
足掻くたぎちに濡れにけるかも

Roma-ji: Mukogawa no mio o hayami to akagoma no agaku tagichi ni nurenikeru kamo
English Translation: The Muko River's
channel runs so swift that
my red horse's
pawing splashes up the flood,
and I am drenched all through
Meaning: The current of the Muko River was so swift that I was soaked by the spray my chestnut horse kicked up as it pawed through the torrent.
Commentary: Book Seven Miscellaneous Poems 1141

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Composed in Settsu"
Crossing the swift Muko River on horseback, the poet is drenched by the spray his chestnut horse kicks up as it paws the water. The hardship of fording a torrent is vividly drawn along with the lively figure of the horse.
It is one of the poems composed in Settsu, placed as though following the route of the journey from the plain of Inano in the preceding poem to the Muko River. The poet is unknown.

The first line names the Muko River in Settsu, in the southeast of present-day Hyōgo Prefecture.
The second line, "channel runs so swift," adds "to" to a "-mi" form: "because the current is fast."
The third line, "my red horse's," refers to a chestnut horse.
In the fourth line, "tagichi" means seething, splashing water: the spray kicked up by the pawing horse.
The final line, "and I am drenched all through," layers the exclamatory "keri" and "kamo" on the perfective "ni."
