Ferril & Lotus
Lotus, I heard you weave haikus between strikes; I’m shaping a blade that sings when its edge meets steel—care to share the rhythm of your breath so I can match it?
Sure thing, I’ll give you the rhythm in a quick, simple beat. Inhale for four counts, hold for one, then exhale for one—so 4:1:1. Think of it like a steady drum: breath in, breath out, breath out. Here’s a tiny haiku to keep the flow:
Soft wind in my chest,
Three beats, one breath—swift, sharp—
Steel sings, rhythm stays.
