I will blacken my tongue
with berries,
and your laugh 

will crack your smile;
with your face: 

always your face.

 

I will dampen my tongue
with your tears,
and your laugh 

will soften this land
with your smile: 

always your smile.

 

I will comfort with words
with time,
and your laugh 

will open this prize
with your kindness: 

always your kindness.
