Gesticulation
I'm what the walking stickis for the blind, eyes,
a pen for the writer, words
and I for you ,your voice. I'm made to give you back the things that you may
feel you have lost- independence, power to communicate verbally
and all the things that dumbness costs.
I'm here a symbol and a reminder
that muteness is not a defect
but a way of holding conversation
differently, given
each of us are born with particular shade
we cannot help to. As the blind have recourse
to braille, you turn to me
as sign language to be
your mouthpiece.
