I woke up this morning to a deep quiet outside my window. The window was open a few inches (I like sleeping with cold air on my face.) Most mornings, even as late as yesterday morning, I awake to the chatter of tiny songbirds in the lilacs just outside. This morning all was silent. It was our first snow and I knew my paint palette was going to change with the season.

The Color of Zero Degrees Cold
it takes a day like today:
wide open skies,
not a single cloud,
an almost
(imperceptible)
mist hanging close
to the frozen earth.
it takes this kind of day
to remember
how many different blues are inside the cold,
… how many
different
colors belong to white.
Snow. Is not. White.
(You knew that.)
