- Description: what's grey to you, she asked me, quiet the distant sky readying for night a snow portending cloud above the fluttering of a rock dove it's grayest when you aren't here I said, and hugging, drew her near

what's grey to you, she asked me, quiet  
the distant sky readying for night  
a snow portending cloud above  
the fluttering of a rock dove  
it's grayest when you aren't here  
I said, and hugging, drew her near
