Last Laugh

he was killed instantly, they said, walking home he was hit

his body scattered on the highway, near the river

bits here and pieces there

ribcage crushed, pelvis smashed

dragged, distorted, still in shock

he hadn’t seen the speeding truck

they found his smile nose still attached

lying bloody in the ditch with missing eyes

they did not find his laugh;

he was laughing

that deep throated laugh he always laughed

when he was pleased or happy

amused at some joke or crazy word of hers

and she was with him

they found her still holding on to just his hand

I thought I heard it once or twice, his laugh that is

while walking near the river

I was told it was just the wind or the rustling of the trees

but

I wonder for near the bank

I found a footprint, about his size

just one, no more and when I crossed

the other one was there, on the other side

pointing in the same direction- home.~ Patsy McAuley
