Laughter


Money and things mean little

To a dilapidated soul.

A breach of joy and light from my mouth

When feelings go south

Is like a drug that keeps me whole


A cure of all cures

When the blood of my heart is seeping out.

A simple chortle from my lip

Is enough to get a grip,

And keep me from bleeding out.
