Poetry
Rattenberg
By Flippy_D
29 March 2005
Rattenberg is a small town in Austria which spends half of the year out of the light due to a really, really large mountain in the way of the low winter path of the sun.

Dark crystal town
Baptized in shade.
You spent half a year dead again.

The cats trickled through the empty streets,
Past shuttered windows, framed doors,
Bathed in dull twilight.

Is it good to be home?
Suitcase handle pressed into damp palm,
Greeted by silence whilst the old folk
Lie staring at electric fans
Behind painted doors.
