Absolute Zero: Episodic Series

Sore throat and aching muscles
as we painfully walk up the green hill
as our knees bend outwards and sideways
as the flames at the peak turn into ice
a flowery land atop an iceberg
a miracle for us to fly to the stars
as the stars are ice, gas and flame
it's absolute zero, never win this game

Seeping through the dusk and dawn
the sacred horizon, tired, it yawns

I fell on my knees
on the pebbled red carpet
the next time it'll bleed
an absolute hero

Staring out the window
a land of blue and ice
a frozen lake, a bloodied hill
a polar bear, naked and dead
as the blackbirds fall like snow
and the goldfishes swim like a painting
like a tearful piece of art
conceived at absolute zero

The lovely little ants
their deaths mean nothing
for their numbers are absolute
and their strength is absolute

And everything in this world
will soon turn to frost
stay tuned for the next episode
of absolute zero.
