CONTRAsT 1989

I See
Groping blindly
trying to See,
smells, taste, and touch
were my eyes.

Struggling to comprehend the world around me,
I could hear only the voices in my head.
Then, I felt the cool ltqutd on my hands,
and the pressure of my companion's hand

in mine
urgent symbols-
repeated
letters?
a word?

WATER

comprehension
communication!
Now I can see.
No more boundaries.
