Raku

 

 

find the asymmetry

sleeping hidden

in symmetry

 

the chance balance

of off-balance the way

tea fills a cup

 

ease housed

in touch as smooth

as roughness can be made

one is led by muted color

to sense the life in texture

 

it subtracts

a little weight

from what remains

 

solid enough to satisfy

 

for Chōjirō
