White

When they tired of painting sun and wind, they turned to fog,
ice, and snow, tried to find some other way to catch the light,
to pin it down, a brooch on a dress or a nail in a barn.
How many different tubes of paint are there for white?

Soon, another cold front will move in from the west,
turning the air crystalline, and they will go at it again:
a flurry of brushstrokes, a snow squall
of new paintings shivering on their easels.
