The Pariah

Nicholas Browning

Recalled time lost many ages ago,

Black-fur dons his skin.

Each perspective wavers to pass,

All before and once again.

 

Outside or inside, the box holds no mysterious presence.

No enigmatic cur, not a single branch.

 

Fortuitously confined by societal normality,

A past most wished rescind.

Deranged, an attempt to asphyxiate begins against

The padding of the room you're in.

 

 

Chromatic linen laced in the river,

Spreading far amongst all that's known.

Ambiance obligingly mended, the reflection in the water

Shows naught but how much you've grown.

 

If left is right, and right is wrong,

Simply go down the middle

  • Comment from author about the poem: Hello everyone! The name is Nick. I'm a poet who didn't know it, and here I am once again after dealing with many of life's troubles. I'm the same as everyone else, but also different. Of course that much of everyone else is true too. Funny guy, huh? I try. Anyways, this work was a depiction of a thought I had. "If people who only go through the flow desire 'Living', then the people who are alive contemplate 'Death')". Scary thought, huh? Well, I guess you could say I'm a pariah. Many thanks for the read, and I hope you enjoyed. If you happen to have a specific work you'd like me to read, please do let me know. Alrighty then folks, Jana! - That's Japanese for "See you later." :D
