Frosty Oasis

On a frosted oasis the people all gathered

To shiver and suffer in unison, as one.

They gathered closer for warmth,

All naked and all afraid, and all shivering still.

They tried to survive as best they could but there was really nothing to be said about what could be done

And in the midst of all of their madness they determined that there was nothing left t accomplish but a long and excruciating sort of death

It isn't that they actually wanted to die

on the contrary there was a lot of space for recollection

On all of the little things that made them want to live

But there was no way to beset such hopes into their bloodstream

So slowly every bit of red life

That flowed inside of their veins

Seized up and broke apart in little fragments of glass

That emitted little dust storms all around

And soon they all stood there on their frosty oasis as though they would live forever

But in truth they weren't living at all and there was no where to go

But down to the hell they had set up for themselves

And a sign that said

Welcome to the frosty oasis

We stay together forever

but not a moment longer.
