What is white....
....
White is a dove
And a puddle of milk
Spilled in an alley —
A ship's sale
A kite's tail
A wedding veil
Hailstones and
Halibut bones
And some people's
Telephones .
The hottest and most blinding light
Is white .
And breath is white
When you blow it out on a frosty night .
White is the shining absence of all color
Then absence is white
Out of touch
Out of sight .
White is marshmallow
And vanilla ice cream
And the part you can't remember
In a dream  .
White is the sound
Of a light foot walking
White is a pair of
Whispers talking .
White is the beautiful
Broken lace
Of snowflakes falling
On your face .
You can smell white
In a country room
Near the end of May
When the cherries bloom .
