the third Hitchin poem
over there the game unravels
a hormone dance on cobbles
there is laughter
-laughter at bud breasts
-laughter at play attraction
-laughter that bends double
-laughter that screened image
-laughter knowing at unknowing
Where unknowing
-at an arm bent
-at some bronze flesh
-as language mirrors
-as a measure danced
-as unknown and unknown
as pose posited
and invested with disinterest
careless projected
air tossed detected
game taut
play caught
pocket thrust
-watched and
-head turned
-and watched
-head turned
-pocket thrust
Shoulder back
-back glance
-back arched
-play on
-pout lips
-his pink
-his mustard
and watched
-acting that game
-actuating that game
- a dialogue discourse
-as affectation
-as effected
-as reflected
-and reacted
watched and
There the white clouds
There clear space and
Blue beyond clouds and
A game weaves and

The Laughter
As a lightning amidst the clouds,
that lightens even the darkest night,
does the laughter sounding so loud,
to the surroundings so very bright.
The sonance of the laughter is,
something that can never surfeit.
give me more of laughter, oh god,
that makes me and place very sweet.
Oh mighty, too high in honor,
has given a tressure unconspicious.
I shall call that sense of humor,
and use it liberally though precious.
As does the water in many a field,
does the laughter a drug to all disease.
To numb the pain out, like a shield
and makes so fresh as an evening breeze.
Like a dropp to quench for the thirsty throat,
and a cool gentle breeze in the sun so hot
does laughter the magic in the sadness caught
mind and soul and heart in deepest thought.
The light of a candle shall not blow out,
by however intense be the darkness poured.
The laughter will heal, where it breaks out,
even the sadest heart that is deeply gored.
Adding fragrance to the petals of a flower
is to make a happy person laugh. But the true power
of laughter is to bring to the face a grin
of the one that feels sad and lower.
Laughter is one that gives a shoulder to hug
while a lot others turn their back and shrug
to the heart down, heavy, blue and tight
like the warmth of a log fire in a freezing night.
Want to find ways to god? laugh without any block
thats one way, towards you, shall people flock.
spreading laughter and smiles shall, in thine
soul, bring in a quality enormously divine.

The Laughter Of Women
The laughter of women sets fire
to the Halls of Injustice
and the false evidence burns
to a beautiful white lightness
It rattles the Chambers of Congress
and forces the windows wide open
so the fatuous speeches can fly out
The laughter of women wipes the mist
from the spectacles of the old;
it infects them with a happy flu
and they laugh as if they were young again
Prisoners held in underground cells
imagine that they see daylight
when they remember the laughter of women
It runs across water that divides,
and reconciles two unfriendly shores
like flares that signal the news to each other
What a language it is, the laughter of women,
high-flying and subversive.
Long before law and scripture
we heard the laughter, we understood freedom.

TEARS AND LAUGHTER
TEARS AND LAUGHTER
Our life gets ensconced between our
laughter and tears,
With sunshine and rain, between our
joys and fears!
This life is a filigree of light and shadow
play,
While with our laughter we try to drive
our fears away!
All our exalted emotions, bring tears to our
eyes,
But tears can flow freely, while laughter
needs tears to survive!
Laugh and the world laughs with you,
But when you weep, you weep alone!
The world has no time for your sorrow, -
it remains as your very own!
Lifes music is composed with our happiness
and pain,
Tears provide the somber background notes,
And laughter the lilting cadence of summers rain!
But in this single life, if we can wipe our brother's
tears,
Happiness will follow, to drive away our tears!
