Adrenals
activate   two small glands
they   snug by flush red 
kidneys been there done that
but not without a hand  no 
not for a long time   this
tighrope flat against the ground
my feet   toe-out 
in tabi
find every inch   by memory
here the fear   of eyes
shocked with flared up
pain  tiny vessels 
swollen
how do they all communicate
without me   in the absence
of danger  running drills
I hear the bells sing out  
hope without 
the juice  you hear
