Møns Klint

Something’s rotten in Denmark,
maybe something awash on the beach
in a country where you’re never
more than 52 kilometers from the ocean.
Møns Klint stands a spectacular natural wonder
overlooking the endless expanse of the Baltic Sea,
an imposing facade of white chalky cliffs
towering over the vast teal expanse of water.
There’s 120 meters
and then there’s 120 meters
to the horizonless sea below.
The glaciers of geological prehistory
gave us a stunning sweep, as breathtaking
a seaside vista as you will ever see.
