monochromatic paraphrase
most winter days give turbid light
the best are sparked by ice clichés
by rime, by snows that will ignite
some tepid greys, some dullard white

a repertoire that does allow
a glimpse of Spring for moods that pall
beneath bare bough, between snowfall
- rime – hoar frost
- pall – pronounced as in Paul, meaning dark mood
