crying so very much and laughing loud and clear
we are 67 years old
endless laughter on nonsense jokes
rasp moves and outbursts
to make us laugh
to make us cry
while the stars on my face
have long ago imprinted on yours
and all my As dripped onto Ps
and all the Ws onto 4 more
all the Cs
dripped onto Gs
and Cs
and probably at least 6 more
according to her wishes
i clean the counter
and don't eat
i'm resolved to wait till you learn
Portuguese
i can go without eating for a really long time
i can wait until it is time to jump
off the airplane
hand in hand and the heart on our backs
about to open loose a parachute
so we land laying down slowly
easily
quietly
what language do they speak in Heaven?
Maybe we can go for a bite then...
