First Laughs

Unexpectedly, and for the first time,

the Twin Soul’s were bowed to.

Sharing a glance; they both thought

it was silly, bowing to another.

Their first attempted laughs were unconfident

and ended as awkward, wrenching tones.

So they tried laughing again intending

to hone their erratic giggling, honks.

Together they attempted to probe the

registers of their voice and laughs.

Playing with new noises they had

never heard, for the first time.

That was forever their favorite memory;

it couldn’t have been more defining.

From then on, smiles and laughs

followed the Twin Souls Shadow, echoing.
