Staring into eyes,
Two endless holes.
Locked into the fall....inescapable.
Stance locked, mannequin mode.
Arm dangling limp by my hips.
Fear like frosted veins,
Someone moved.....yet i can't name.
Someone else beneath my skin.
Precision like a puppet string,
Palm forward......fast like lightning.
Wearing my hands like gloves.
Hwanon cōm sēo cræft? Nāt ic, ac hand wiste.
Hwæt wæs þæt þe mē āhredde? Dēop gāst.
Ðæt gemynd āflēah, þēah sēo hand āwēold.

Title: Body-Guardian.
Last tercet:
Whence came the skill? I know not, but hand knew.
What was it that saved me? A deep spirit.
The memory fled, though the hand prevailed.
