Technicolour, Felt
(Colourblindness In Glorious Technicolour)
By Andy EdgarPublished 5 years ago • 1 min read

Spoken like a true artist, blindness in colour seems only a hurdle to overcome.
But what troubles befall a man who sees only in shards? To recognise moments as they come but never in ones memory.
Is memory a colour?
My eye sees purple, my mind glimpses blue. Was magenta a thought; or indigo a feeling?
I taste lilac on my lips, smell crimson in the wood.
Verdant pastures, lime soaked valleys, the sage and the shamrock. Are these the complexions of life? If so, nature is a shade of jealousy.
Fuchsia stings like tears, teal like nettles.
Gold throbs in my veins, the ichor seeps ruby.
I hear jade whisper and graze maroons cheek. I see pieces, not the whole.
Colours are a language that not all of us can comprehend.
