I write to the deaf man my favourite sound.

Just to make sure we’re on the same ground I ask if he could hear before.

He writes back

“Your sound to me is of dreams.”

I replied red is aggressive right? Or so it seems.

So red is loud and unclean.

Blue is calm and clean.

He writes back “How does blue sound?”

I wrote “The sound you hear.”

He then writes “I do not hear.”

“Exactly, the sound of silence.”
