until you have seen
a deaf person dance,
do not speak of passion
or of true vibrance.
do not tell
of the brilliance
of a word,
until you have seen
the letters spelt out
with strong,
agile hands,
or until
you learn to speak
a language
that has no sound.
(inspired by Joshua Bennett's poem to his deaf sister)
