A compression
Of the chest -
Quick intake
Of breath,
And a choppy exhale
Bubbling out
In laughter.
It's not
Dignified, not
Ladylike, but
Pure -
An unabashed,
Unstoppable
Giggle
In response
To the blooming
In my chest
And the glow
That the world
Has suddenly
Adopted.

I love how the lines are so short here. And the image that you paint with the words makes me happy, it is a very good write! =)
