Eine Alpensinfonie— R. Strauss, 1915

By Kevin Kong

Night wriggles from tussock and crawlers
infest skin, cold above our arms. Along
mountain’s edge, we welcome defrosted pine
into our noses. The water collects
within crevasses of a glacial behemoth.
We spearhead towards the peak, dissociation of
limbs to torso, us to hunting horns.
And through the mist, sun’s voice quavers
off-beat into gray, the tempest, and quells
winter’s gloom with nostalgia. In the dark,
like scattered seeds of Alpine flowers,
snow braves flight in wind.
