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.
