Beyond The Pale Poem by John Kipling Lewis

Beyond The Pale

Rating: 2.3


If i go pale beyond the pale
will my family follow?

I can only wish
for the feelings of love,
fleeting as they seem,
to hold fast to my skin
and the adhesion to
the homunculus and
succubus...

to keep my slipping past
their hold into the pale.
Way beyond the pale.

I don't get this one. Starts and ends OK, but I get lost in the middle

3. A lot of abstractions that say nothing and convey nothing to the reader. The other reviewers have said that they did not understand the poem; this is why.

I don't feel that this one has significance only to the author.
