Laughter Will Hunger For Your Mouth
Laughter will hunger for your mouth
On mornings that break ominous,
Though the cold shoulder from above
Shoves from view all that’s luminous.
When breezes wheeze, die in your hair,
Laughter will hunger for your mouth.
Rheumatic boughs point at Sol’s lair,
Where rays wait like a virgin dove.
Daydreams may furl their wings and pout,
And song wither in every throat,
Laughter will hunger for your mouth,
When twilight hoists colors afloat.
The promise by today unkept
Returns to mirthless angels rout.
Long as the last tear is unwept,
Laughter will hunger for your mouth.
