There Is Nothing Else I Can Do Comments

in another haiku: '' ushiro sugata no shigurete yuku ka '' '' from the back, / walking away soaking wet? '' Santōka says goodbye to his friends who have come to see him off. He turns and begins to walk away in the pouring rain wondering to himself: ''What a sight I must be''..

'' dō shiyō mo nai watashi ga aruite iru '' '' there is nothing else I can do; / I walk on and on ''
