...until Hell freezes over - don't you know
that as there is no fire in hell, but cold
and bitter weather that will always hold,
hell's only where the hopeless people go?
The men that live in there are thin and grey
and wear steel spectacles and three-piece suits
and no one talks, or laughs, or mocks, or hoots
because they're occupied the live-long day
behind their screens to try if they can see
some gleam og hope in all that thet behold,
however slight - it would chase off the cold
and anyone warmhearted cannot be
a citizen of that drear realm of frost -
he will be told to leave and close the door
to go until he's lost all hope once more
and he'll rejoin the silence of the lost.

Desejoover 10 years agoHmm. I like "the live-long day" phrase, but I'm not wild about the image of hell as a bunch of homeless white collar minions (and if they live in hell, are they homeless? These questions pester me). You've got some typos in the third stanza. As always you have great skill. Just not loving this one.
