1. 1984: Martha Kuwee Kumsa by Rishi Dastidar

    The most powerful.

    The beige of their suits?
    The black of your blindfold?
    The grey of the corridor?
    The white of your gag?
    The red of your gag?
    The brown of your meals?
    The purple of your welts?

    No.

    The blue of the sky.
    Blue is the colour of hope.
