(Absinthe - French word, from the Greek for 'wormwood' - a bitter shrub, also used as a noun to indicate a state or source of grief)
Black and red are the lips of rock
Volcano emerging from the depths
Thrust out of charred earth
A monument to eternity
Green and blue are its frames
A destructive force with a conscience
Ancient slopes richly forested
Framed against a deep blue sky
A monument to infinity
Black and red are the vanishing insides
Setting sun on frozen magma
Empty crater swallowing all light
A monument to nothingness
Green and blue is the pool below
Deep down, almost out of sight
Now still now alive
Unknown waters holding your grief
A monument to now
