Laughter in the Eaves
heaven
is filled with
laughter dripping
down
from
the eaves.
it will greet me
with
wide margins,
and
endless fields
of tall grasses
swaying
on a feather’s breath,
and swaths
of quiet hush
and there are
a thousand
secret places
to be
and alone
but never
lonely.
and all
the words
i have
ever needed
will be there
in heaven
where
the eaves
drip
with laughter.
