pointing forward

still relaxed though

ready to attack even

while in retreat

His legs are coiled

bent at the knees

and keep him en garde

while his free hand

dangles freely

to maintain some

he sees no foe

and feels no threat

this time there is

only his own path

So he removes his mask

and looks ahead

then drops his weapon

uncoils and

begins
