Standing on the edge,
it is the laughter causing the cliff to crumble.
If you are very quiet – you will hear it too.
Like steam from a teakettle, it is constantly erupting,
spreading and dissipating.
Shhhh. Listen. Did you hear it?

    Lovely words, Meg. I guess laughter causes the cliff of pain to crumble.

    This is really great, I could almost hear it myself. If I’m quiet enough.
