from atop a hill

among the clouds

the watchmen look across the way

each window pointing a bow and arrow

fear instilled in those wearing the metal hats, for

up on the opposing battlements, another watchman is

looking, with their bow and arrow, waving back at them

    I love the shape of the poem, as well as the words.
