Resilient

balance

on the line

one foot

step careful

you break

your mother's

back and who

can have that

on their head

walk

forward towards

your toes

follow through

feel your hips

align to

move you

line up

your spine

catch yourself

like a cat

and take

all the arrows

in your shoulder

because everyone

knows that a

proper archer

will

aim to

miss your heart.
