Albino Poem by Hailey Leithauser
Albino
A lot more of than thought, unsought, come out white.
Lemurs of Madagascar, and leopards sans spots.
Brilliant, I think, to spurn pigment and burn
in December light, a December filament.
No one would know if there's snow in your hair,
or whether or not, when they knock, you are there.
