Like the autumn rice
tossed in the wind of wings
where the wild geese rest,
my thoughts in wild disorder,
my love has come into the open.
Meaning
Like the autumn rice tossed by the wind of the wild geese's wings as they alight, my thoughts were thrown into disorder, and at last my love came into the open.
Commentary
Love Poems 560

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Sent to a certain person"
Like the autumn rice tossed by the wind of geese's wings as they alight, the poet's thoughts are thrown into disorder until at last his love shows itself. It continues the scene of autumn fields from the preceding poem.

Line 1 means "where the wild geese rest."
Line 2 means "tossed by the wind of their wings."
Line 3 means "like the autumn rice," the same as line 1 of the preceding poem; the first three lines form a preface leading to "disorder" and ho.
Line 4 means "thoughts in disorder," overlaid with rice tossed by wind.
Line 5 plays on ho, ears of rice and outward show; zo binds the attributive nuru. Like ho ni idete in 532, it sings of love come into view.
