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
