The news from Yemen's war

Taiz is in the hands of Hadi's forces,

or Saudi or perhaps it's little helper United Arab Emirates.

No one seems to know.

Houthis and Saleh lost it,

the spear broken in Aden,

driven back.

I doubt they will lose, though

- few lose wars nowadays;

the Tamils were the last.

Wars just go on, in one form or another,

a Protean spectacle of murder,

on and on while lives end

and wars do not.
