Peace Treaty


Peace Treaty by Adam Parry

There is now a peace between
my contradictions,
an armistice
unpoepled with any but
my own thoughts.
Once I fought alone
until discovering
my allies in the war
there, always there, raging beneath my hair, and I
allying myself to theirs in their own minor wars.
Now in the one minute radio silence, they go,
and I alive and alone fight the Evil fascist might, or I might’ve
if I had not signed the treaty long, long ago
and alone in no-man’s land I dance.
