Mit Schlag

In a soggy Salzburg cemetery,
a small girl in a pink flowered poncho
drops peonies and hopscotches off.
Couples curl under umbrellas and I
am waved through one of Mozart's
houses by an elderly tour group. They smile,
thinking I'm German - for once, my face
is a perfect disguise. Coffee, mit schlag.
