<<prev ...Ex\orcism... next>>
Elastic LimitCoiled
Tight
Ready to spring
Like a dog with its teeth bared
Like a cat with its ears back
Like the hovering hawk
The shark circling the surfer
The keeper entering the cage
This is you
The danger in the pause
The ice below the doorstep
The boxer before the bell
Stretched taut
Like your skin
Ready to snap
Like my heart
