The laughter’s motion is well illustrated in the text, and my discovery (every haiku should have a discovery) of that single voice in the crowd is delightful.
I like this a lot too, gK. My only (small) criticism would be about the extra space before ‘her laughter’; <imho>it just seems like a(n almost?) subliminal (read ‘cheaty’) way of adding a break. And it works perfectly well without it </imho>
gk, i read, reread, read again, and reviewed your one liner. at first, because of my nature for things being as they are, i struggled with it.
my thinking of (prepositions) and their usage, a battle raged within.
HOWEVER, i placed my (self) at the table, and participated in the meal and conversing; then there it was, i understood where you were coming “FROM”; how my attention was gotten by the laughter.

recess
her laughter
from the crowd
out of the pitch-black darkness a light
