Watchtower by Anita McQueen

 WATCHTOWER

No spiral staircase descending
from my one window
over the city.

No man seeing
my stare
longing.

I won't admit it
grinding my teeth,
flaring my nostrils,
stomping my feet...

High
cloud underbellies
muscled
men
I cannot reach...

I scream and those above only hear
a faint whistling of some common bird.
