Adages of Cleansing

Adages of cleansing, the wet cloth.
Ratio for a piece, the hand dry.
The one plays, the one sings,
into and out of the clean hands.
Even the heart is lenient here.
Adages of writing,
the one pens, the one plays.
Ratio for a piece,
without words, without praise.
Alone and into the hands.
Adages of breathing,
the one in, the one out.
Ratio for a piece,
10 as to 5 and 5 as to 10.
Rub the skin dry and with the hands,
hold and hold and maintain.
