Over No Man's Land

by Eloise Peabody-Rolf

A bird swoops
Over the troops
A bird hovers,
Regarding lost lovers
In No Man's Land
A lingering hand
Pointing to the sky
Set high

One last soar
Above the ground of war
There the bird lands
The only one who stands
The only one alive
In No Man's Land

The only one
In No Man's Land.
