The Freezing Air

 

There’s heat on the freezing air

A sweet sickly warmth

Drifting in from somewhere

The snowy landscape hides much

But what’s been by is revealed

The snow shows it’s been touched

 

He sniffs at the freezing air

Seeking the warm taste

It’s coming from somewhere over there

Something has died during the night

He smiles and licks his cold lips

He can see it on the snow so bright

 

He can feel it on the freezing air

Death whispers with a raspy pain

But for the dead he does not care

Through the snow he easily travels

He comes upon the snowy blood scene

The mystery quickly unravels

 

It’s spelled out clearly on the freezing air

The pond is full of crimson blood

Others have come to the snowy pond to share

To partake of the warm sweet red liquid

Down on their knees they lap and suck

They satiate their hunger from a scene too vivid

 

On the freezing air they come and go

But the snowy blood pond never dries

It shimmers in its snowy bed as the cold wind blows

They gather one by one on the pond’s snowy bank

Drinking the crimson liquid of life

And giving their dark gods endless thanks
