Points of diving feet together toes pointed hands shaped right
To insert her into water like a needle”

From another world that seized her
From behind, and she gave, not lifting her head
Out of dew, without ever looking, her best
Self to that great need.”

And at last, the stand on his hands,
Perfect, with his feet together,
His head down, evenly breathing,”
