Wabi Sabi
My favorite weapon kinks, a little bit, mid-blade
Nicked guard
Ragged glove
Dinged mask
Lopsided muscles swell, shaped by asymmetric use
Calloused feet
Torn nails
Scarred wrist
A nervous tick mars my attack—disengage from 4 to 6 and back
Loose wrist
Hitched arm
Crouching stance
Taken altogether
These flaws
Integrate and form
A balanced whole
The beauty of imperfection

Out of multiple errors comes a pleasing whole? I get it but I really hope one day to "grok" that, 'cos sometimes all I can see is what I'm doing wrong!
