Palpable

PALPABLE imagine the silence of a plane crash if you were deaf imagine how intolerably loud a rape PALPABLE absorbing hearts transcending death absorbing fears enduring pain TANGIBLE in the newness of another day unwoven from slumber we glisten clean start anew FLAGRANT we busy ourselves with menial chores and cause then stare at books noveleyed CONSPICUOUS © Kim van Breda—
