laughter

My laugh always
surprises me:

Its rise in pitch,
slowly, but not
steady,
until it hits a
confused apex.

Its full voice,
which seems
funnier than

I can hear it above
the coffee drinkers,
cigarette smokers,
flirtatious students.

I continue to
listen;
continue to

this,
my friend.

The hypnotic birds
are nearly in flight.

While they wait,
the windy night
rolls
quietly into
oblivion.

from centuries of

hate

patiently seeking
the meaning.

Moving cordially,
free of smoke,
I laugh of
what life is,
as I move across
the room.

To fainting thought,
I understand.

I have my dreams,
my heart,
the sunshine,
my life,
this dance,
and you.

beautiful

Sitting at the table,
surrounded by morning,

Beyond the cloud,
patiently tingling,
silky stars look
for each other
