Deafening

The sound of a breath filling the lungs

The imperceptible flutter of butterfly wings

The hum of the television with sound muted

Living in a world beyond silence

Vision takes on a special value

Each color and texture more delicate

And touching becomes a greater luxury

So that every edge, each plushy softness

Creates an enormous wave of excitement

That is deafening in proportion.
