Draft, Women Laughing

Resource added
Paris, 18 Aug., 1984. Got out of bed to begin this poem, 11:14 p.m—11:21 WOMEN LAUGHING or FRAGMENT OF A PARTY From my thin bed on the fourth floor I hear women laughing down in the courtyard. Their laughter turns the warm cobblestones into water. Without leaving my bed I walk on it, not sinking, going down to them, strangers. Yet, they know me, take my hand, and keep on laughing. On any summer night it is lovely to hear women laughing.
