tender square anything that happens,” the priestess assures me,
happens with the permission of the universe.”
so i place my body perpendicular to the line,

a neutral stance with feet shoulder width

when i draw the stringed bow back, my elbow

glides to meet the euclidean axiom “things
which coincide with one another are equal
to one another.” i aim my intention with a single

arrow. the archer’s bible says that instinctive
shooting relies upon the subconscious mind,
a follow-through occurring within the body:

i relax my fingers. i release my breath. fire.
