Laughter
Ordinary faces, shy and
Sweet faces, sad &
Preoccupied faces
Blank and frank faces
. . . .
Time and time again
We all agree that laughter
Is all we need after a long
Day of artless laboring
And exhausting repetition
My job is to open
Doors behind closed
Faces and purposeless
Eyes . . . . To uncover
The smallest joy
That means the most
When Yesenia laughs
The room is lit up
All faces become softer
And laugh with her
There’s nothing
Hidden behind her
Telling eyes
Maggie is a smart woman
Who doesn't laugh easily
But when she laughs
She laughs her heart out
Deep and guttural
Flamingo on fire
Rosa's face is tanned
The kindest face that makes
You see a field of blooming
Sunflowers ---truthful and proud
To be simple
To be ordinary
Carmen is the beauty
Of the group, a movie
Star who refuses to perform
A young mother whose
Life has not begun yet
Victos said that when Carmen
Cries, she is equally attractive
A big man with a soft voice
Belesario laughs
Silently like a philosopher
He never forgets to thank
Me for making them laugh
Humble and earthy
Faces I love. We laugh
When we cannot “translate”
The simplest thing
Into words or sentences
Laughter is our language
If nobody wants to leave
We laugh some more
Turning the night
Upside down
The day inside out
Their laughter
My best reward
We bid each other
Good-night with laughter
We hug each other
In laughter
As if celebrating another
Ordinary day worth
Of our love, worth
Of being where our
Hearts want to be
