Impulse 44

I thought to myself, if I could draw, 
I’d draw this. But I can’t so I won’t. 
Instead I’ll try to describe it. It’s kind 
of like realizing you were okay after 
all; after this not-so-tragic tragedy, 
you were fine. It’s like a sigh of relief. 
You’re not numb, you’re at peace; you 
just haven’t realized it.
