rising sun

oldest and youngest
circling, striking;
not to hurt each other, but to touch
each other's shoulders; a light tap
where their defence is weak, their parry late;
but Thursday wouldn't be Thursday
without a the old lady of the dojo
getting punched in the face
by her youngest warrior brother.
