Laughing

Light
laughter's rattling
off the ceiling
and closet doors, awakening
me just as the faintest light is leaking
through the blinds.

Realizing
it's my own laughing,
I'm wondering
what I was dreaming,
and now remembering
it's the way we were dancing
late last night.

Now
again I'm laughing
loud and rolling
and doubling
up and falling
out of bed.
