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.
