A Crying Time

laugh

laugh loud

laugh long

laugh while the angels sing

sad songs of the heartbreak resurrection

laugh as their tears tear dry burning burrows

down swollen cherub cheeks

and laugh at their broken winged decent

to the heaven of their hell

when you hear the bell

laugh at its off time toll

laugh while the heads roll and

while the children scream

from the midnight sun

rising black through

the poison purple air that breathes

like the serrated edge of

a murder mad kitchen knife

laugh

laugh loud

laugh long

look in the mirror’s scattered shards and

laugh and

laugh and

laugh

laugh yourself

unto

death
