Sitting in the backyard
Alone
I laugh.
The look on their faces,
The thoughts in their mind-
It must be
Driving them insane.
A toast
To their efforts
Is due.
My glass, frozen
In air while I wonder,
How much searching
Did they really do?
The quiet invitiation
Seems a waste.
I've screamed,
I've begged,
I've regreted,
And now
I laugh.
Keep them coming, Coraline. Excellent.
