Köenigsee

Photo by Lynda McKinney Lambert.

Swift winds bring low temperatures

clouds conceal marble mountain peaks

Chiffon grey skies

press down on clustered red-tiled roofs,

narrow doorways

slow moving tourists

in Köenigsee.

Long ferry boats

glide silently

across the frigid green lake

laughing Germans sing of home

waves break beyond our boat.

In the final hour of night

before mountains disappear

my chilled body reaches downward

seeking shelter

in the next bus to Grödig.
