The Outskirts

"The Outskirts" - a poem by Jennifer about animal cruelty.

The outskirts
All together
But some
Some stay alone
Cold and below
Warm and above
All together then gone
Where do they go
No one knows
Through the night they slide
Not a peep from the outskirts
See
Sprint
Gone
As subtle as your breathe in the night

Time is found then lost again
Lost?
Yes
Alone?
Some
How to live
How to love
All is lost
Disappeared, disappeared to the end of the end

Will they ever be found
Found from the dark hole in which they come
Maybe
Maybe not
They are the outskirts
Always lost
Never found

By Jennifer Kiser
