This it is how it is done
-delicately.
Most important, remember to breathe
steady
quiet hands,
as in decent golfers and honest horsemen
then confidence is key-
the only one that fits, actually.
First, you must penetrate the first layer without severing any of the connecting
threads,
or start over.
Next, to get deeper you must first see trust,
like fat.
You don't need a lot to proceed.
Moving along, use your tools wisely,
logic is too dull.
The point must be sharp enough to travel through the body.
Make no bones about it, be deliberate, don't deliberate.
The marrow may quiver ever so slightly,
this is good-you have come this far.
You don't need me
for Directions nor
Corrections
the beat of your heart
the heat of your pulse
the meat of the matter
the flood of blood
on the ashen page
in the first draft stage.
