Why did Dante put Judas Iscariot
into the frozen center of Hell?
Or into the Inferno at all?
Does not fire purify?
Does not ice purify?
Fire and ice hold resurrection power--
The singed and the frost-bitten--
the sting of the flesh,
consider the stench of mortality
against the clean, pristine idea of eternity.
