Half Light - April 7 2023

 

Half Light

April 7 2023




The cool blue

of light on ice.

In its cracks

and partial shadows.

In its translucent ridges

and under its overhangs.


The palette of winter

is blue and white.

An aquamarine

glowing from within.


A half light

culled of its long warm reds.

Blue

short and intense,

beautiful

against white virgin snow.


And in spring

grey, grimy, granular.

Soon, earth tones and mud.

Then green grass and gaudy colours

and fall's dusty dun.


While winter

is stark and simple

in infinite shades of blue.
