Kairos

My body is tense, tight
A savage; sinewy suspension
poised to buckle at the touch.
Submit, release
a welcome denouement
from this timorous climb,
corporealize a broken peace.

So I had to look up Kairos and I'm going to assume you went with the Greek meaning and weren't referencing the non-denominational church in Los Angeles.
Going with that the poem gives me the sense of fight or flight YET depending on what happens (what outside factors are at play) there could be neither and instead a breaking apart would happen. The subject seems poised on the verge of anything but waiting to react. Sa
