Archery 2*
{Listening to Craig Ruhnke - Give Me The Nighttime (1983)}
Dampers have managed
To somehow become the
State of affairs for us
Stabilizing for hyper-mobile fingers
Extending their boon
Ready to part the heavens
Between my wrist and face
For target practice chiefly
Yet occasionally feigning for the rights
To a hunting scenario
With the baited side of the wind
Pressing into this involuntary
Countryside of feminine hunters
Their doppelgangers; detailing
My crudely indoctrinated body.
Which ordinarily isn’t about
How quickly the bow shoots,
How impressive the tuning is or
How many pounds are being pulled but
More about identifying-
Understanding how and when
It’s going to fire once your pressure is
Placed on that release trigger-
Removing human contact, which is the
Eloquent part of a dogmatist like me
(Judgmental especially: when shits close to my heart,
Autocratic and abrupt-generally)
With mounds of praise reducing
Their artistic value and vibration
Made so flawlessly-lawless
Now absorbing the shock;
Held in my mouth.
