Attempted Laughter

Posted on February 28, 2015 By rayawambui No Comments on Attempted Laughter

So, life can sap the soul of your laugh,
Like birthday balloons loose air.
Sometimes a quick snap,
Sometimes leaking shape, darkening in shade.

While the spades name
slips silent through gritted teeth.
The green other side of memory
Can never compare.
