Day 5: Laughter

A poem inspired by awkward laughter...


Holy Show

A glut of giggles tumbles
belly forth forward.
We kneel and clasp our middles,
gasp at sombre silent air
as blurry candles serenely flicker.
Effervescent bubbles burst bold
on sacred stillness, every little look
a comic sketch of epic proportions -
an invitation
to a new fit of churning inevitables.
The tears start then, the laughter leaking from us
any way it can, a new kind
of holy water.
