How like the sound
By Kenyon, Jane
“How like the sound of laughing weeping...”
How like the sound of laughing weeping
is. I wasn't sure until I saw your face
your eyes squeezed shut, and the big
hot tears spurting out.
There you sat, upright in your mother's
reclining chair, tattered from the wear
of many years. Not since childhood
had you wept this way, head back, throat
open like a hound. Of course the howling
had to stop. I saw you add call realtor
to your list before your red face
vanished behind the morning Register.
