Oppositions

Write a short poem of oppositions. Go for the obvious or for the less obvious... :) 

What's the opposite of a kiss?

                              - a bite
The opposite of green? Antarctic white

Of a train? a pile of broken bikes
Of cake? a funeral, or Finnegan's Wake

What is the opposite of a fence? an open space
The opposite of an I? the Uni-verse

Translating a colour into images (and sensations)

Translating a colour into images (and sensations)

Here's how to do it:

BLUE

Blue is a lake. Some exotic sea. The Pacific. The sky, vast. It is my father's eyes, my sister's eyes, and mine. A scarf. Also, Portuguese tile mosaics. A magic fish.

The smell of fresh air. A breeze; the time between the last day of winter and the first day of spring.

Its taste? Nothing in particular. Or, maybe, the taste of an icicle. Something that was strong, and got rarefied.

It feels like traveling by plane. Distance, distancing. Touching cosmic space. It feels like a lot of water between your palms, a lot of time at your fingertips.

It sounds like silence. Like a bird flying. Or, like a seawave coming to the shore and going back.

Blue means waiting for something to happen or someone to come. But it also means quiet and calm. Like there's never been any noise in the Universe.
