Treacherous river,
you have drowned many people.
If she were to die,
Ukifune considered,
it would end her woes.
She developed a talent:
dissimulation.
The general clearly knew
that something was going on.
Her indecision
led to a paralysis.
She longed for an end –
the world seemed only torment.
Even Death was to elude her.
