It’s humbling to realize that
More than half the time I
Don’t know what I did
That is to say, I know I
Held the blade and
Not my breath
Kept the tension in my legs and
Not my arm
But in between “allez” and “halt” occurs
A sequence of events I
Can’t unpack
Evidently
I did good
The light came on the
Hand flashed up
Awarding me the touch
I’m just saying (full disclosure)
What happened in between is
Something of a mystery
I can live with that
In my dreams when
I take flight
The most important thing is not to
Wonder how
Lest doubt rescind my wings
