Four dots. Four lights
Each floating deep in an icy cavern
Each glints in time to an unknown beat
I see my breath, but I'm not cold
The crystals of water feel like rock,
or plastic
I feel warm here
Watching the four lights
Watching them glint as I speak to them
Looking to the back, at the fourth light
One light fades and goes out
The last light I looked at
The last light I made glint
It glinted fast, and went out
The other two glint
Still outshine the fourth
In the back, growing brighter
Another glints fast, pops away to black
The other just vanishes
Now I am alone with the last light
The brightest of all
And I see
It too was blinking
Faster than the light that faded too soon
Faster than the light that flared and then blew
Faster than the light than just ceased to be
It too was blinking
But I broke that light
And now in the dark
I see how cold it truly is
