Work Text:
Nock, draw, release...
Sinuous, taut, yet supple
Skin stretched tightly over strong bone and perfect musculature
Motion fluid as liquid mercury
Surety of strength and wisdom of experience
Nock, draw, release...
Shadows of scars of missions gone by
Callouses from repetition
Veinous at the height of tension
Slack when target is neutralized
Nock, draw, release...
Tanned from fighting in the desert
Cold from reconnaissance in Siberia
Burned from alien acid-like secretions
Wrapped in sterile gauze to heal
Nock, draw, release...
Memory from practice
Prepared for battle
Calm in repose
Gentle in love
