laughter pt.II
October 16, 2017
my mother and i
do not agree on laughter.
she laughs high and quick
at things of joy or of celebration.
she throws her head back
and she claps.
i laugh lower and slowly
and at inconsequential things
things like embarrassment
or misplaced fear.
though, with this in mind,
we sometimes find a common ground.
in our dim lit apartment
we find company is cups of tea
or cups of wine
and sweet laughter
at nothing in particular,
but just at how sweet life can be.
