It is here that the rain shines
and the sun blows.
Where the ice crackles
and fire snows.
This is where buildings grow
and trees fall.
Where fire melts,
and ice cannot thaw.

The impossible city
where we walk on clouds.
And dirt covers the sky.
Where the tower bells,
and clocks chime.
All out of sync with time.

This is where the people stalk,
and the animals talk.
Where birds dream,
and children scream.

Where there is no turkey at dawn.
We are instead woken by a deadly song.
The place where ice crawls up the walls,
and the ivy slowly thaws.

The impossible city where Hell is cold,
and Heaven is the inferno.

I wrote this at a competition, on a whim, when I'd finished the test early and was bored. This was the result.
