K&E: Blind
Writing the seventh:
Kathy:
Hello again!
This is our seventh writing together
About how we would describe colour to a blind person!
||:}========{:||
What does a rainbow look like?
Not rain.
Not even the nice kind
Don't imagine water
Or even a bow
Because it's something so much more
It's hope and happiness
It's the daybreak on a dark night
It's the smile amidst the chaos
It's the survivor among the horrors
It's the cacophony of joy
Complex and consentrated
It's every refraction of light in one place
And all each one comes with
All the meaning and emotion we've poured into these colours
All coming together in the perfect gradient
Fading beautifully
Complementary
Amazingly
It's happiness, it's love
It's what keeps me going

Black is the colour of night
The lack of light
The image of darkness
Yet you see black
As a lack of sight
So what does one see
When they can’t see at all
Do they lose the experience
Cannot see black
Cannot think it
Do they only experience
The lack of colour
After all
Is black
Do they see the darkest of darks
Or does nothingness elude them
And sight is suspended in doubt
But black is the colour of night
The lack of light
So as their senses sleep
I’ll pretend they sleep in black
the word count was 222 but I've ruined it now (imagine the crying emoji I'm on laptop) but yeah! eva here for once, hows it going?
