only gently shush, gently gently shush a playing child
even softer adult laughing
when laughter departs a soul darkens so
that even large dogs slink away fearful
casting careful, sad, backward glances
such a deep well is difficult to scale
such truths
so
do not tightly tie the bag
take care not to stifle play
at the least, the very very least
inhale laughing children’s eyes skipping into the wind
no matter whose children they be
