The Arrow

I ask
the Prince of Bow

he concedes

he agrees

I ask the Duke
of Feather

he acquiesces
politely

Princess String
holds out
holds on

but
that’s a game
we play

she nods me

yes

I am
the Lord Arrow

I take concessions
such as these
and still I must approach
the Shaft
and Nock

I must approach Sir Broadhead
of Tip

and then assemble
all
of my allies
in the Earldom
of Quiver

I am
Lord Arrow

I
am the arrow
