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.
