Alchemy of Jujitsu
The air is furtive for fighter's stance
Pacing around the mat, casting bully's glance
Opponents clutch shoulder to shoulder
Flying initial surge of violent lust-
But the well matched counter aggression
Soon it is wrestle and advance
Forward hip momentum to surgical degree
Suddenly an arm is caught and gripped
At an impossible angle, nerves are stripped
It's submit or injury, the fight reaching its peak
In a moment of instinct, a hidden valve comes loose
Wounded animal unleashed refusing to submit
The hold is broken through a blast of urgency
