View from the Floating Bridge

UPDATED! Attempting to continue an old story... ;; Sai reminisces at the match between Touya and Hikaru.

4. For Sai

For Sai...

So lonely am I 

My body is a floating weed 

Severed at the roots. 

Were there water to entice me, 

I would follow it, I think.

~Ono no Komachi

(Note: This is a "Tanka" poem common in the Heian period.  I don't know when this one was written, though.)
