because the color of snow depends on its surroundings
December 13, 2014
when she wakes, she will ask you
what color the snow is. reply “white”
as it crosses your vision. white because that
is what it looks like. white because her fingers have
numbed from the cold (and she likes it
when her body looks like something from the Earth).
Find her standing, arms stretching. embraces
the snow with her pale legs. On friday,
she will ask you what color the snow is. reply
“white” as help her lay down on her bed .white
because her body has forgotten every other
color. white because yours has too.
