An odd pair

82 34 28
                                    


My home oft transmutes into his downcast

Brother house, who stands broken, and tarnished,

And if I'd retrace the famed dotted contrast,

I'd be but a poet recently varnished.

The archway looks like a conspirator,

About to fall and marry my bones.

The house like my head, needs a janitor

For sweeping clean these zones of unknowns.

The torrid sun and his wavy sons lax

Are not the light one craves for, but the foe,

As though, my body is of flimsy wax

That melts, filtering from hope just woe.

The polar bros are an oddly dressed pair,

Mimicking the residents and the guests,

Chameleon, more so a mirror, just and fair,

Foe in words so a friend within their chests.
