I am currently walking the full length of Japan
It is a distance of 1869 miles
I have a death poem
Written by Kuroki Hiroshi in my top pocket
On Tuesday the 7th of September 2021
I will celebrate Kuroki’s anniversary
By resting for a day and studying the beauty of the flowers
I have so far walked just over 600 miles
By the turn of the year I hope to have reached 1000 miles
If this is true then I should complete my Japanese journey
Sometime in the later months of 2022
