Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature

Hi everyone,

So I know this verb means to sense or perceive, but I feel like it's doing something else here as well that I can't pinpoint. As in is it also a play on the root for hair?

...
"!وتطلقين سيلاً من الشتائم، الخارجة من قاموس غضب الطفولة ، بحقَ المسكينة إيفي: "يلعن أبوها، انشالله تموت
تضحك إيفي التي تستشعر انتفاضتك على الكرسي ثم تحيط بكفيها وجهك الجميل المحمّر

Sense/perceive your revolt/rebellion?
