[couldn't get the Shohozan/Kotoshogiku
bout by itself for gif, so here's
a bloody Tochinoshin instead]
sumo rikishi
balance unbelievable
considering size
mountainous men cultivate
twin feet centered and grounded
Kotoshogiku’s
been unblemished this basho
up until day four
he seemed to have Shohozan
bound for elimination
but Shohozan - a
wily veteran - maintained
delicate balance
finally stepping aside,
Kotoshogiku tumbled
the dance of giants,
all those ceremonial
foot stomps create roots
tendons tendril into Earth
at metaphysical plane
of note, later day
four, there was much bloodshed shown
by top rikishi
Tochinoshin’s eye busted,
and Kisenosato’s lip
autumnal Aki
Basho rekindling my love
for this foreign sport
only four days in, but hyped
for all possible outcomes
