In My number 4 comment I meant: you use several times nature outside since you do not wish that someone can hear your loud cry, the sky defeats your loud cry, excellent metaphor.

3) it does not touch me only, but it grabs me straight to the nature where this sadness has its on-going. All these occurrences I still see in front of me. I have never read a Tanka of this greatness, .

Fater having read this touching poem, I remember your lovely beautiful poem in the past about weeping outside while the wind was wild, so no one could hear the loud weeping. Or may I am wrong, but I thought that I still know that poem, not this, but nature is the great subject in it.
