the battlements counter 
enemies from all quarters
as we do these days
the glow of past years ending

jesus at the peak
though seems still
to cast a shield
of communal serenity

till up close and personal
one sees the antenna 
exclusive telegraph to god?
or lightning rod? 

A photograph of the iconic bronze statue of Christo de la Mota on Mount Urgull in San Sebastian, Spain. The statue is shown from below, with its outstretched arms and the silhouette of a radio antenna on its back, against a bright, cloudy sky. The image captures a famous city landmark and its unique, modern addition.
