Palette



The gray-green sea,

And the gray-blue clouds,

And the gray-clear air in between,

Damp with the fears and weak dreams

Of ill-defined men straining for tint

And a hint at the colorless days,

Unless black is a hue and the shapes

Are not lost on the pulverized slopes

Of what once was thought solid and true.

Where's the red?

Where's the yellow with blue?
