Man alone (with apologies to Shakespeare)

by Mike Porter Category: Literature Issue No. 195

The search for truth

winds through cold and lonely

places;

there’s little comfort

in that no-man’s land that lies

between the warring factions.

The solitary walker weakens, wants

to warm himself

by shouting:

A plague on both your houses.
