Love and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

(Rhyming Senryu)

Cold and careful hands
Dismantle love’s elements
Methodically

The eye detecting
Fragile fractured copper threads
Dispassionately

Concentrating fire
Melting metal, soldered wire
Mending circuitry

Testing, one, two, three
The current, interrupted
Now set flowing free

How beautifully
Cool flux and hot flame restore
Conductivity

Love’s analogy
Motorcycle maintenance
Electricity
