You Laugh Poem by Maria Barbara Korynt

everything suddenly walked away
unpredictably
without consent
blameless
without the permission
great distance
difficult to defeat
no longer this age
not this look
not this power
it stayed little
another night
restless
and perhaps some more
toilworn hands
which pain isn't sparing
feet already insensitive
to the softness of the carpet
expecting the forecast
of the more beneficial weather
for the ruffled ghost

and you laugh
because what you are able other
you still have healthy hands
you still have healthy...
hands...
