How many stanzas does this poem have?

Archery

It’s like touching without touching,

except when there is, also, touching.

We pull the bowstrings back

and parallel together,

aiming a handsbreadth higher

than we believe we intend,

and let the glove move where we draw the wire,

scared that the machinery

will misinterpret us,

that we may not stop trembling, that we may lose

our belief in ourselves

before anything is released, or shared, or sent.
