APPREHENSION

Abigale, pretend!
pretend!—And then 

one 
bland day—stop 

shuddering 
at—or even 
simply

studying
its subtleties—and instead

just 
take
its hand 

in your hand 
and—without thinking 

shake
that hand 
and feel

truly— 
as a body can

the full-
on
pull of absolutely 

nothing 
holding nothing—back.
