Kit Kelen #1223 - Garmisch-Partenkirchen




1223
Garmisch-Partenkirchen
5.v.19
for Björn


in all this
feathered fall
of sky to me
a screen
the horizontal

Spring green
of the beech
needle midst

as if in a glass case –
this is the city of creatures unseen
and shake to know the snow

nothing to hear but my head
this is how silence was first
when they landed
frail as otherworldly

it is an empire
the extent of this
we all know empires melt
but glory in this monument

almost Tyrolian
Holy Roman

would melt the thunder
till a river ran

Alps out there somewhere
no way to be sure
nothing to climb in this

tonight for a darkness
tomorrow the discovery of sunshine

but now, in all solemnity
we stand here for the snow
