Her Laughing
He heard her laughing behind him,
a musical sound,
and turned
and watched her,
the dark haired woman who held his heart,
watched her watching their son
and saw,
as she turned to face him,
the delight in her blue-gray eyes.
Something in his throat caught
as he gazed back at her,
and thoughts of how she stirred him
shattered in the afternoon sun
by the shrill laughter of his firstborn.
"Don't look so serious, Daddy,"
she said,
taking three steps
to kiss him on the chin
before running to chase their silver-haired boy
in the golden sunlight.
