—-<§>—-
wild laughter breaks the grip of seriousness
and people start saying what they want t’say
time expands into bubbles of outrageousness
rising and drifting, then bursting away
the voice forgets manners — the body says yes
shoulders shake loose old history’s hold
sorrow releases its grip in the mess
and silence leans closer — curious — bold
this sound gathers chaos, twists up the face
in a warmth that tingles like satin on skin
echoes that soften the edges of space
opening a door so that joy can rush in
when finally it fades something lasting remains
the foolishness of gravity come unquietly true—
being here despite losses — eschewing the strains
is a shared miracle — enjoyed rockingly with you
