White
Wordless Wednesday – Winter White
28
White
is absence,
the absence of pigment
of fertility
of time
White
is hard,
the hardness of tooth
of bone
of stone
It is not vulnerable
like green
alive and pulsing
It is not fluid
like blue
brimming and rippling
White is brittle, bleached
leached
a bleak remnant
White is what is left
when life is gone
and even decay is done
