Hell Freezes Over

Edge of the Universe

Hell Freezes Over

Dead of winter
So dark and cold
Such bitter irony
Just yesterday
Alive and kicking
Well not quite
In the still of the night
More calm than fright
Nixed the rites
Passed disembodied
Wafted away
Just a shade
Some place in space
Devoid of coordinates
Not up or down
Here or there
Heaven or hell
Not all that different
Hardly what I thought
Nowhere land
First day really isn’t
Lots that’s not
Days month and years
Totally irrelevant
Time warped
Fear eats itself
Serpent’s tail in mouth
No food or drink
Hunger or pain
Now and forever
Universe turns dark
Stars burned out
Ultimate destination
Grim isolation
Solitary quarantine
Going it alone
Expected celebrities
Selfies with devils
Kings and killers
Dark angels
Flung from grace
No such place
Me without shadow
Cursed by eternity
Lament of the damned
Shady business
