Poem by Halle Preneta — 6/20/23
In your laugh
In my laugh
In the glitter in your eyes
In the kiss I receive on the top of my head
In love, the one thing people are trying to get rid of in this world
But you can’t have a humanity without love
Because without love, we are only bare branches on shaking trees
Ready to collapse onto the floor below
And if no one is around to hear it,
Did it ever really fall in the first place?
